Privacy

Your pay figures stay on your device

The calculator runs entirely in your browser. Salary, filing status, deductions — none of it is sent to a server, stored, or logged. There is no account, no sign-up, and no backend that could receive it.

What is collected

Standard web analytics: page views, referrer, approximate country, browser type. This is aggregate and cannot be tied back to you. Server logs may briefly record IP addresses as part of normal hosting operation.

Advertising

This site may display ads from third-party networks. Those networks set their own cookies and follow their own privacy policies, which we do not control. They never receive anything you type into the calculator, because that data never leaves your browser in the first place.

Free paycheck calculators for every state. See your real take-home pay after federal tax, FICA and state withholding — 2026 rates, straight from the IRS and state publications.

Actualsum gives estimates for general information only. It is not tax, legal, payroll or financial advice, and it is not affiliated with the IRS or any state revenue department. Your employer's payroll system may withhold a different amount. Check your own pay stub and talk to a qualified professional before making decisions.
