How take-home pay is calculated

Every US paycheck loses the same three federal pieces: federal income tax (10%–37% across the 2026 brackets, after the $16,100 single / $32,200 married standard deduction), Social Security (6.2% on the first $184,500 of wages) and Medicare (1.45%, plus 0.9% above $200,000). What differs is the fourth piece — state income tax — which ranges from zero in states like Texas and Florida to nearly 13% at the top in California. Some cities and counties add a local income tax on top; the state pages note where that applies.
