# GetNetWage

> GetNetWage answers "how much of my pay do I keep?" for any hourly wage or salary in all 50 US states and the District of Columbia. Each page shows take-home pay after 2026 federal income tax, Social Security, Medicare, state income tax and required state payroll contributions, computed from IRS, Social Security Administration and state revenue department tables retrieved September 26, 2026. Figures are estimates for a simple wage earner, not tax advice.

How the main number is computed: gross pay is the hourly wage times 40 hours times 52 weeks (hours over 40 paid at 1.5 times), or the salary itself. From it come the annual federal income tax (2026 brackets after the $16,100 single standard deduction, IRS Revenue Procedure 2025-32), Social Security (6.2% of wages up to $184,500), Medicare (1.45%, plus 0.9% over $200,000 for single filers) and the state's income tax and payroll contributions. Pages assume a single filer with no dependents, credits or other income; local income taxes are not included. Example: $25 an hour in Texas is $52,000 a year before tax and $43,962 after tax ($1,691 every two weeks).

Tax year 2026. 14 states had not published every 2026 amount when the data was gathered (Arkansas, California, District of Columbia, Idaho, Maine, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, Oregon, Utah, Vermont, Wisconsin); those figures are carried forward or projected with the state's own indexing rule and marked on the sources page. The tables are refreshed every January when the IRS, SSA and states publish new figures; changes are logged at https://getnetwage.com/changelog/.
