Take-home by pay frequency
Based on 2024 federal brackets and standard deductions ($14,600 single / $29,200 married / $21,900 HoH). Social Security wage base is $168,600 (6.2%); Medicare is 1.45% plus 0.9% on wages over $200,000 (single). Pre-tax 401(k) and HSA dollars skip income tax (but not FICA for 401k). Actual withholding on your W-4 may differ.

Formula
Net = Gross − Pretax − FederalTax(Taxable) − Credits − FICA − SE Tax − State − City − Posttax; Per paycheck = Net ÷ periods
Pro tips
- • Bi-weekly (26) vs semi-monthly (24) pay: two extra paychecks a year — same annual pay, bigger occasional checks.
- • Raising 401(k)/HSA contributions cuts federal and (usually) state tax today — a raise that costs you less than it seems.
- • Each dependent claimed on your W-4 reduces withholding via the child credit ($2,000) and other-dependent credit ($500).
