About

Paycheck Scout is a free tool that shows what you actually take home from a paycheck. It covers federal taxes and the income tax and payroll rules for all 50 states and Washington, DC.

Every figure is taken from IRS, Social Security Administration, or state revenue department publications, and each state page links to its sources. We review the data when states publish new rates. If you spot something out of date, please tell us.
