Frequently Asked Questions – Salary Tax Calculator
Gross salary is your total earnings before any deductions. Net salary (take-home pay) is what remains after subtracting all taxes and other deductions from your gross salary.
Filing status determines your standard deduction and tax brackets. Married filing jointly typically has higher brackets than single filers, often resulting in lower taxes for the same household income.
FICA stands for Federal Insurance Contributions Act, which includes Social Security (6.2%) and Medicare (1.45%) taxes. These are separate from income taxes and fund specific social programs.
States without income tax (like Texas and Florida) typically generate revenue through other means like higher sales taxes, property taxes, or specific industry taxes to fund state operations.
Common methods include contributing to retirement accounts (401k, IRA), health savings accounts (HSA), itemizing deductions, and taking advantage of tax credits for which you qualify.
