About SalarySolve

SalarySolve is a free suite of US salary and paycheck calculators built on official 2026 tax data. It exists because the answer to "how much will I actually take home?" shouldn't require creating an account, sitting through popups, or trusting unlabeled math.

Three principles guide the site:

• Primary sources only. Federal figures come from IRS Revenue Procedure 2025-32, FICA from the SSA, and state rates from state revenue departments — documented in full on our methodology page.
• Client-side by design. Every calculation runs in your browser. Salary data is never uploaded, logged, or stored.
• Estimates labeled as estimates. Where we simplify — such as effective-rate approximations for progressive-bracket states in the current phase — the result says so, visibly.

SalarySolve is part of the Solve family of tools, alongside TheWordSolve. It is an independent project and is not affiliated with the IRS or any government agency.

SalarySolve provides information, not advice. For decisions about your taxes, consult a qualified professional.
