PayNest builds free, fast, no-nonsense salary and paycheck calculators for US workers. We believe knowing your real take-home pay should take seconds, not a spreadsheet.
Our principles

- Show the math. Every calculator documents its formula and data sources.
- Stay fast. Pages load in under two seconds on a phone.
Data sources
Tax estimates reference IRS-published federal income tax brackets, standard deductions and FICA parameters, updated each January.
