Description

We created Paycheck Calculator because we were constantly asking ourselves the following questions:

How would my paycheck look like if...
- I accepted a job with a yearly salary of X?
- I received a raise of X dollars per hour?
- I moved to X city?
- I worked X hours of overtime this week?
- I increased my 401k contribution by X percentage?
- I received a commission of X dollars this week?

And we wanted something simple that could be quickly pulled up on the phone, had a previous calculation saved, and computed the deductions as soon as I changed a single number.

So basically the app is solving the problem of knowing how much money will one make after taxes. It does it by computing a few formulas given by the IRS based on the 2020 brackets, it also adds a few extra variables related to social security, medicare, and other federal deductions.

Overtime is a common concept and most people want to know how would their paycheck work if they do a couple of hours a certain date, what happens if there is double-overtime, the app allows to add all those inputs in simple visible cards.

In order to be even a little bit more accurate, the app contains a few additions to state taxes and they are automatically deducted after the user selects its location.

Besides deducting federal, social security, medicare, and state taxes, the app has extra inputs to add customized deductions, for example, a 401k contribution, an HSA addition, child-care, between others. The deductions can be customized pre-tax or after-tax.

Allowances are something that might be tricky and it's normally not widely known to be used to calculate the net income, we've added a small slider to input any number from 0 to more than 10 allowances.

Finally, the app allows you to add any kind of extra income, pre-tax or after-tax, tips received, bonuses, commissions, the extra money that your boss gives you based on performance, you're able to tweak your whole income completely.

All these inputs can be customized in a yearly or hourly setup, they can be calculated in different pay periods, like daily, bi-weekly, semimonthly, quarterly, yearly, etcetera, and all the numbers are quickly calculated at realtime in a single page layout.

Do you know how much money will be there at the end of the week? Will you be able to order that extra queso tonight? Give it a try and figure it out yourself!

DISCLAIMER: The application does not give legal tax advice, it's merely informative. All the calculations are done locally on the device based on brackets already loaded up and we have no way of looking of the information it's entered in the app.

Look into the future!!

I am in love with this App!! Because I am hourly and my hours fluctuate weekly, I’m able to get a glance at what my paycheck will look like. All you have to do is put in the Deduction Amounts (PreTax & Post Tax) and Dependents and the App Calculates your taxes and does EVERYTHING ELSE!! I’ve been using this App for over a year and it is off by maybe $10.. However, when it has been off, I actually short changed myself a few hundred dollars, so I was even more surprised when I received my check. The good thing about that is, I budgeted for the amount the APP gave me..

Should explain each labeled category to get 5 starts

If this app would explain the description for each of the categories it’s able to access and include in estimating your check, this would be a much better app but I’m still left with a vague sense of unknown expectation for what my forthcoming check will look like, because there not much clarify for some of the other areas users can adjust and use for calculating their payroll to be expected. If this was made a feature, this would be a cool and helpful tool, which features limited ads, and gives users a better more concise estimate for what’s to be expected on their forthcoming payday— this happens to still leave me confused, though, and thus my rating is pretty fair since the app doesn’t do more than whats easily calculated and perhaps why uses look for something similar to the app. If this app had made clear the definitive categories appropriate to my personal tax needs, not only would it be a much better app, but it would also easily have earned 5/5 stars and given me a far better experience overall! Hopefully that’s changed soon bc without that, it’s served me no real beneficial purpose and i could probably find an app just as good, or better, and with more definitions for what is/isn’t applicable to me, with explanations for the variations it provided uses but didn’t elaborate for their user friendly experience!

Pretty accurate

This app is very easy to use- BUT personally only thing I wish the allowances were a little more specific to the deductions that you claim on your federal w4 like how many dependents you have with the actual amount put in ($2000 for the first and $500 for each additional after that). You should be able to put what your filing status is like head of household or married filing separately, married filing jointly, single, etc. Users would really like to see as many details as possible when determining their net income each week. I want to know how much money I will have to work with to pay bills and plan for future events. All we really have to go by for calculating how much money is our hours worked- we don’t know how to calculate the Federal, State, Social Security or Medicare tax. I would like an update with these details added to the app. Otherwise it is very accurate! I compared it to my check, accuracy was within less than $1!!! Highly recommended!!!
