Terms of Service

US Salary Calculator provides free online tools to estimate take-home pay after federal, state, and FICA taxes. Our Service includes:

• Salary calculators for all 50 US states and Washington D.C.
• Tax breakdown visualizations
• State-by-state salary comparisons
• Educational content about taxes and personal finance
• Related financial calculators and tools

We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Service at any time without notice.

Our calculators use simplified tax calculations based on standard rates and assumptions. Your actual take-home pay will vary based on:

• Filing status (single, married, head of household)
• Number of dependents and exemptions
• Tax deductions (401k, IRA, HSA, mortgage interest)
• Tax credits (child tax credit, EITC, education credits)
• Local/city taxes (not included in our calculations)
• Additional income sources (bonuses, investments, side income)
• Pre-tax benefit deductions (health insurance, FSA, etc.)

While we strive for accuracy and update our calculators regularly:

• Tax laws change frequently - we update as soon as possible but may have delays
• Our calculations use simplified, flat-rate approximations
• Progressive tax brackets are simplified for ease of use
• Standard deductions are assumed but may not apply to everyone
• We cannot account for every individual's unique tax situation

• Errors, inaccuracies, or omissions in our calculators
• Financial decisions made based on our results
• Tax penalties, fines, or additional payments due to inaccurate estimates
