How Your Paycheck Is Calculated
Federal Income Tax — Calculated using 2025 IRS tax brackets after your standard deduction ($15,000 for single filers, $30,000 for married filing jointly). The US uses a marginal tax system — only the income in each bracket is taxed at that rate.
State Income Tax — Varies by state. Nine states have no income tax: Alaska, Florida, Nevada, New Hampshire, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Washington, and Wyoming. California has the highest top rate at 13.3%.
Social Security — 6.2% of wages up to the 2025 wage base of $176,100. This funds Social Security retirement and disability benefits.
Medicare — 1.45% of all wages (plus an additional 0.9% on wages over $200,000 for single filers). There is no wage cap for Medicare.
