Income Tax Calculator
Estimate taxable income, income tax and take-home income using your annual income, deductions and estimated effective tax rate.
Enter your total estimated income for the year.
Enter deductions that reduce the income used for this estimate.
Use an estimated effective rate for this simplified calculation.
This calculator uses one estimated effective rate. Actual income tax can depend on tax brackets, filing status, credits, deductions and local rules.
How the Income Tax Calculator Works
Taxable Income = Annual Income − Annual Deductions.
Estimated Income Tax = Taxable Income × Estimated Effective Tax Rate.
Take-Home Income = Annual Income − Estimated Income Tax.
Effective Tax Rate = Estimated Income Tax ÷ Annual Income × 100.
How to Use the Income Tax Calculator
Enter Annual Income
Enter your estimated total income before income tax.
Enter Annual Deductions
Enter deductions that you want to subtract from annual income for this estimate.
Enter the Effective Tax Rate
Enter the average effective tax rate you want the calculator to apply to taxable income.
Calculate
Review estimated tax, taxable income, take-home income and monthly take-home income.
Example Income Tax Calculation
Suppose annual income is 75,000, annual deductions are 15,000 and the estimated effective tax rate is 20%.
- Taxable Income = 60,000
- Estimated Income Tax = 12,000
- Take-Home Income = 63,000
- Monthly Take-Home = 5,250
- Effective Tax Rate on Gross Income = 16%
Understanding Your Results
Taxable Income
Taxable income is the annual income remaining after the deductions entered into the calculator.
Estimated Income Tax
Estimated income tax is calculated by applying the entered effective tax rate to taxable income.
Take-Home Income
Take-home income is annual income less the estimated income tax.
Important Income Tax Considerations
Actual income tax calculations can be more detailed than a single effective rate. Depending on your jurisdiction, tax brackets, filing status, tax credits, exemptions, payroll taxes, capital gains and other rules may affect your final tax liability.
Use this calculator for general planning and estimates. For tax filing or compliance decisions, use the rules applicable to your jurisdiction or consult a qualified tax professional.
