FAQs
1. How accurate is the salary calculator?
Our calculator provides estimates using standard tax rates (20%). Actual deductions may vary based on location, additional taxes, and benefit deductions. Always consult a tax professional for exact calculations.
2. Can I calculate different pay frequencies?
Yes! The calculator supports weekly, bi-weekly, monthly, and annual pay frequencies. Select your payment schedule before calculating.
3. Does this include overtime calculations?
Currently, this version calculates regular hours only. Overtime calculations will be added in future updates.
4. How are tax deductions calculated?
We apply a flat 20% tax rate on gross pay for simplicity. Real-world taxes include federal, state, and FICA deductions.
5. Can I save my calculations?
This basic version doesn't save data. We recommend noting down results manually or printing the page.
