How the Nurse Salary Calculator Math Works Under California Law

A California salary calculation starts with the BLS Occupational Employment and Wage Statistics (OEWS) table for your occupation at the state level, then layers on California's payroll stack: federal income tax (brackets published by IRS), FICA (7.65%), and state income tax at a top marginal 13.30%[1][2].

The formula: take_home = gross − federal_tax − state_tax − FICA − other. "Other" covers 401(k) deferral, HSA, FSA, pre-tax benefits. The calculator below runs this client-side — no inputs leave your browser.
