About this app

We created Paycheck Calculator because we were constantly asking ourselves 🤔 the following questions:

💵 How would my paycheck look like if...
- I accepted a job with a yearly salary of X?
- I received a raise of X dollars per hour?
- I moved to X city?
- I worked X hours of overtime this week?
- I increased my 401k contribution by X percentage?
- I received a commission of X dollars this week?

And we wanted something simple that could be quickly pulled up on the phone, had a previous calculation saved, and computed the deductions as soon as I changed a single number.

The app is solving the problem of knowing how much money one will make after taxes. It does it by computing a few formulas given by the IRS based on the latest brackets, it also adds a few extra variables related to social security, Medicare, and other federal deductions.

Overtime is a common concept, and most people want to know how would their paycheck work if they do a couple of hours a certain date, what happens if there is double-overtime, the app allows to add all those inputs in simple visible cards.

In order to be even a little bit more accurate, the app contains a few additions to state taxes and they are automatically deducted after the user selects its location.

Besides deducting federal, social security, medicare, and state taxes, the app has extra inputs to add customized deductions, for example, a 401k contribution, an HSA addition, child-care, between others. The deductions can be customized pre-tax or after-tax.

Allowances are something that might be tricky and it's normally not widely known to be used to calculate the net income, we've added a small slider to input any number from 0 to more than 10 allowances.

Finally, the app allows you to add any kind of extra income, pre-tax or after-tax, tips received, bonuses, commissions, the extra money that your boss gives you based on performance, you're able to tweak your whole income completely.

The tax calculator allows you to customize all these inputs in a yearly or hourly setup, they can be calculated in different pay periods, like daily, bi-weekly, semimonthly, quarterly, yearly, etcetera, and all the numbers are quickly calculated at realtime in a single page layout.

Do you know how much money will be there at the end of the week? Will you be able to order that extra queso tonight? Give it a try and figure it out yourself!

Privacy is important: All calculations are performed locally on device; inputs are not transmitted to our servers.

would have given 5 stars when I first downloaded it, but now they added paywalls and invasive ads for basic services they used to offer for free, so im only giving 3 stars. for what the app offers it doesnt come close to justifying the cost of premium, but I would change my mind if it was a one time payment option of around 3 dollars, but 3 a month is rediculous.

The calculator is a little off on the deductions which is no big deal when it was a free app. Now, you can't change the state you work in without paying a monthly payment. I would expect the calculations to be exact if they are going to charge. I work in 3 different states between 2 companies and every paycheck fails to match this apps calculations.

Hi LaDonna, I’m sorry this has been frustrating. Changing the work state should be free (you can unlock it by watching a short video). We’d love to help get the paystub calculations as close as possible, though; if you can, send a redacted paycheck to support@ehm-tech.com, and we’ll review everything and help get your estimates to match.

Well it used to be handy but now that there is a " pro " option and they want you to subscribe or be forced to watch adds to change simple info like your options it is terrible. It never calculated my pay accurately because the taxes are always off. I was ok with that when it was free to use to get a ballpark idea of what my pay might be based on whatever I input. Ive deleted this app at this point.
