Real-world example: Software engineer evaluating a job offer▾

A mid-level software engineer in Austin, TX is comparing a $130,000 W-2 offer against their current $115,000 role. The new offer includes a $10,000 signing bonus and 0.1% equity in a Series B company.

  • New base salary: $130,000
  • Current base salary: $115,000
  • Signing bonus: $10,000 (taxed as supplemental)
  • State income tax: 0% (Texas)
  • Federal marginal bracket: 22%
Net take-home gain (Year 1)
~$9,400 after-tax increase including signing bonus

Takeaway: Texas has no state income tax, which inflates take-home vs. the same offer in California (~9.3% marginal) or New York (~6.85%). Run the comparison with your state's rate above.

When this calculator is wrong▾
  • Federal withholding estimates depend on your W-4 elections

    Take-home calculators estimate withholding based on single/married status and claimed allowances. If you have side income, multiple jobs, or itemized deductions, your actual withholding will differ. The IRS Tax Withholding Estimator is the most accurate tool for W-4 calibration.

  • State income tax is highly variable

    Nine states have no income tax (TX, FL, WA, NV, AK, SD, WY, TN, NH). California tops out at 13.3% marginal. State tax can shift your net paycheck by $200-$1,000/month on a $100K salary. Always select your state before reading take-home results.

    Cost of Living Salary Adjustment
  • Benefits are excluded from most salary calculators

    Employer-paid health insurance, 401(k) match, HSA contributions, and paid leave have real dollar value — typically $8,000-$25,000/year for a mid-career employee. Comparing two offers on base salary alone ignores a major component of total compensation.

    Benefits Value Calculator
  • Self-employment adds 7.65% employer-side FICA

    W-2 employees pay 7.65% FICA (SS + Medicare); employers match it invisibly. 1099 contractors pay the full 15.3% self-employment tax. A $100K 1099 contract has roughly $7,650 more tax friction than a $100K W-2 salary before any other adjustments.

    1099 vs W-2 Tax Comparison
  • Bonus taxation uses supplemental withholding rates

    Bonuses are withheld at a flat 22% federal supplemental rate (or 37% over $1M) — not your effective rate. Your actual tax on the bonus is determined at year-end filing. If your marginal rate is below 22%, you'll get a refund; above, you may owe.

Multiply hourly rate × hours per week × 52 weeks. For full-time (40 hrs/week): hourly × 2,080.

$20 × 40 hrs × 52 weeks = $41,600/year gross. After taxes, approximately $33,000–$35,000 take-home.

$25/hr × 2,080 hours = $52,000/year for a 40-hour work week.

Hourly workers can earn overtime pay. Salaried workers often get benefits but may work more than 40 hours. It depends on the job.

Multiply your hourly rate by the number of hours you work per day. For a standard 8-hour day at $25/hr, your daily rate is $200 before taxes and deductions.

$30/hr times 80 hours (two 40-hour weeks) equals $2,400 gross biweekly. After typical deductions, expect roughly $1,800 to $1,920 take-home every two weeks.

A standard full-time work year is 2,080 hours (40 hours per week times 52 weeks). Subtract vacation and holidays for actual paid hours, typically around 1,920 to 2,000 hours.

Yes. For part-time workers, multiply your hourly rate by actual weekly hours instead of 40. Working 25 hours per week at $20/hr equals $26,000 annually, not the full-time equivalent of $41,600.

Subtract unpaid weeks from the 52-week year before multiplying. If you take 2 unpaid weeks, use 50 weeks. At $25/hr and 40 hrs/week, that is $50,000 instead of $52,000.

Divide $50,000 by 2,080 working hours to get approximately $24.04 per hour. This assumes a standard 40-hour work week with no unpaid time off during the year.

Annual = Hourly × Hours/Week × Weeks Worked

Standard: $X/hr × 40 hrs × 52 wks = $X × 2,080
