Estimates, not advice

Everything on PaycheckDesk is provided for general informational purposes only. The calculators produce estimates. They are not tax advice, legal advice, accounting advice or financial advice, and using this site does not create a professional relationship of any kind.

Your actual tax depends on facts the calculators do not ask for: dependants, credits, other income, itemised deductions, prior-year carryovers, multiple employers, local taxes, and the Form W-4 on file with your employer. Before making a decision that matters, consult a qualified tax professional or check directly with the IRS.

No affiliation with the IRS or any government body

PaycheckDesk is an independent website. It is not endorsed by, affiliated with, or connected to the Internal Revenue Service, the Department of the Treasury, any state revenue department, or any other government agency. Where we cite official publications we link to them so you can read the original.

Accuracy

We take accuracy seriously: figures come from primary sources listed on the sources page, the tax engine is covered by tests, and we decline to publish rules we have not verified. Even so, we make no warranty that the calculators are complete, current, or correct for your situation. Tax law changes, guidance is reissued, and errors are possible.

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, PaycheckDesk and its operator accept no liability for any loss or damage — direct, indirect, incidental, consequential or otherwise — arising from the use of, or reliance on, this website or anything produced by its calculators. You use the results at your own risk and remain responsible for your own tax filings.

Report an error

If you believe a figure or calculation is wrong, please tell us. We investigate corrections quickly and note the date of any change on the sources page.
