Tip: California is used as the default State for State tax calculations, you can choose an alternate State using the 2024 State and Federal Tax calculator.

In the tax overview above, we show the illustration for a monthly take home pay as a straight 1/12th of your annual income. Not all employers calculate income this way. Some employers calculate your monthly income and pay monthly Federal / State taxes by diving your total annual income by the number of days in a year, then multiplying that daily amount to provide a monthly salary that changes each month depending on how many days there are in the month (28,29,30 or 31).
If your employer calculates you monthly salary in this way, the below calculator illustrates the amounts you should expect to pay in Federal Tax, State Tax, Medicare, Social Security and so on. The Tax and Take home example below for an annual salary of $ 300,000.00 is basically like a line by line payslip example.

Investing in your retirement means you can build up a good pension to ensure you have enough funds to retire comfortably, Roth and Traditional IRA pension schemes offer alternate ways to invest and can save thousands of dollars which would otherwise be spent on your tax bill
The ROTH and IRA Retirement saving calculator (Pension Contributions Comparison Calculator) allows you to compare how your money will work for you when using either of the pension schemes. You may also like to try our Traditional IRA calculator and / or the standalone ROTH IRA Calculator.
