WHAT YOU MAY BE OWED
The earned income credit, the child tax credit, your state's own credit, SNAP, WIC, school meals, Medicaid and CHIP, marketplace subsidies, Lifeline, heating help, the Medicare Savings Programs — eighteen programs, screened against your household in a minute. Every finding shows the rule with your own numbers in it, what it is worth, and the office to call. Built from the 2026 IRS, HHS, USDA and state tables, refreshed when they change.
MOST TAKE-HOME CALCULATORS STOP AT THE STATE LINE. YOURS DOESN'T.
If you live in one town and work in another, you are taxed in both. Reckato knows the rules for over 5,000 cities, counties and school districts.
WHAT YOU ACTUALLY TAKE HOME
Federal, FICA and all 50 states, plus the local tax nearly everyone else leaves out. Per paycheck, not just per year. Freelance or 1099? It works out self-employment tax, the 20% business deduction, and the check to send the IRS each quarter.
IF LIFE CHANGES
What unemployment would pay in your state, and for how long. What Social Security would pay at 62, 67 or 70. Your student-loan payment on the new RAP plan, IBR or standard. VA disability pay for your rating and family.
THE REAL COST OF THINGS
A house with property tax, insurance and PMI folded in. A car from payment to pump. A month for your whole household where you live — rent and home prices for your ZIP. Any figure shown as the gross you must earn to keep it.
THE RULES WHERE YOU ARE
The minimum wage in your actual city. When your last paycheck must arrive after you quit. How long your landlord has to return your deposit. What your state taxes in retirement. This year's Medicare costs and 401(k), IRA and HSA limits. All fifty states, every answer citing its source.
