Understanding Your Take-Home Pay

  • Your take-home pay is what you actually receive after all deductions (taxes, insurance, retirement, etc.)
  • Federal tax rates vary by income bracket - higher earners pay a higher percentage
  • State taxes can significantly impact your net pay - some states have no income tax (TX, FL, NV)
  • Social Security (6.2%) and Medicare (1.45%) are deducted from every paycheck up to income limits
  • Review your W-4 form annually - claiming more allowances reduces withholding but may result in a tax bill
