Tax Calculator
Estimate tax, effective tax rate and take-home income using your annual income, deductions and estimated tax rate.
Enter total annual income before estimated tax.
Enter eligible deductions used for this estimate.
Use an estimated effective tax rate for a simple planning calculation.
Actual tax depends on jurisdiction, brackets, credits, filing status and applicable deductions.
How the Tax Calculator Works
Taxable Income = Annual Income − Annual Deductions.
Estimated Tax = Taxable Income × Estimated Tax Rate.
Take-Home Income = Annual Income − Estimated Tax.
Effective Tax Rate = Estimated Tax ÷ Annual Income × 100.
How to Use the Tax Calculator
Enter Annual Income
Enter your estimated total income for the year.
Enter Deductions
Enter deductions that reduce the income used for this estimate.
Enter Estimated Tax Rate
Enter an estimated effective rate rather than a marginal bracket rate.
Calculate
Review estimated tax, taxable income, take-home income and effective tax rate.
Example Tax Calculation
Suppose annual income is 75,000, deductions are 15,000 and the estimated effective tax rate is 20%.
- Taxable Income = 60,000
- Estimated Tax = 12,000
- Take-Home Income = 63,000
- Effective Tax Rate = 16%
Understanding Your Results
Taxable Income
Taxable income is the income remaining after the deductions entered into the calculator.
Estimated Tax
Estimated tax is calculated by applying the entered estimated effective tax rate to taxable income.
Take-Home Income
Take-home income is annual income less estimated tax.
Important Tax Considerations
Real-world tax calculations can involve brackets, filing status, credits, payroll taxes, capital gains, deductions and local taxes. This calculator is a simple planning estimate, not a tax filing calculation.
