Common Mistakes to Avoid

Using the marginal tax rate as the effective rate

Fix: Your marginal rate is the rate on your top dollar. Your effective rate is your total tax divided by income, which is lower. Use the effective rate for an accurate net figure.

Forgetting state and local taxes

Fix: This calculator uses a single combined rate. Add federal, state, and local income taxes together for your true tax burden. Some states have no income tax.
