Net Pay Calculator — Gross to Net, Every Pay Period

$60,000 gross is $50,390.00 net in Texas: $4,199.17 monthly, $1,938.08 biweekly, $969.04 weekly.

Reference notes for the 2026 federal tax year and 2025 state schedules, computed from published rates rather than copied from another site.

How it works

Net pay is gross minus every withholding, and the pay period changes the arithmetic more than people expect.

Frequency Periods a year Net each
Monthly 12 $4,199.17
Semi-monthly 24 $2,099.58
Biweekly 26 $1,938.08
Weekly 52 $969.04

Biweekly and semi-monthly are not the same thing. Biweekly pays 26 times, semi-monthly 24, so a biweekly year contains two months with three cheques. Budgeting on a biweekly cheque as though it were half a month overstates monthly income by about 8%.

What this does not cover

Employer benefit deductions — health premiums, HSA, 401(k), union dues, garnishments — come out on top of tax and vary per employer. The calculator takes pre-tax health and 401(k) separately because they behave differently against FICA.

The same figure, per pay period

$95,000 a year in Texas, by how often you are paid:

Frequency Gross each Withheld Net each
Monthly $7,916.67 $1,611.46 $6,305.21
Biweekly $3,653.85 $743.75 $2,910.10
Weekly $1,826.92 $371.88 $1,455.05

Marginal federal rate 22%, effective rate across all taxes 20.355%.

Worked examples

Single filer, Texas, which levies no state income tax:

Salary Total tax Take-home a year Take-home a month
$38,000 after tax $5,287.00 $32,713.00 $2,726.08
$58,000 after tax $9,217.00 $48,783.00 $4,065.25
$78,000 after tax $14,297.00 $63,703.00 $5,308.58
$110,000 after tax $23,785.00 $86,215.00 $7,184.58

The figures are generated from the rate table, so they cannot drift from the calculator. Federal rates are 2026, from the IRS; state schedules are 2025, because the IRS publishes a year ahead of the states, and both years are named rather than blended.

The whole rate table is open data: rates.json, no key and no rate limit, indexed at dev-lab-x/us-tax-rates-json. Everything ever found wrong is published with before-and-after figures on the corrections page.

Corrections welcome: open an issue with the figure and where the right one is published.
