How to Use the Tax Withholding Calculator

Our tax withholding calculator helps you estimate how much federal and state income tax will be withheld from your paycheck. Use this tool to ensure you're having the right amount withheld to avoid owing taxes or receiving a large refund.

Understanding Withholding

Tax withholding is the amount your employer deducts from your paycheck to cover your estimated tax liability. The amount depends on your income, filing status, number of allowances, and any additional withholding you request.

Adjusting Your Withholding

  • If you typically owe taxes, consider increasing withholding or reducing allowances
  • If you receive large refunds, you may want to decrease withholding to increase take-home pay
  • Update your W-4 form with HR when your situation changes
  • Consider additional withholding for side income or investment gains
