2026 federal rules (or a 2027 preview) plus your state's income tax, local tax and payroll programs. Your numbers stay in your browser.

We assume you live and work in the same state.

How you're paid

Before any deductions.

Pick 2027 to see your paychecks from January.

Used for state exemptions and credits. For federal credits, use the fields below.

Affects the yearly tax estimate on a joint return. If blank, we show the result as if there is no other household income — and say so.

Pre-tax deductions (per year)

Usually traditional 401(k) or 403(b) contributions. Social Security and Medicare still apply.

Usually health, dental or vision premiums and health FSA, HSA or dependent care FSA contributions through a Section 125 plan. California and New Jersey tax HSA money for state income tax, and New Jersey also taxes premiums and FSAs. Check your pay stub or ask payroll.

For the yearly estimate only, e.g. the child tax credit. We don't work out eligibility.

Form W-4 entries (optional — affects federal withholding)

The 2026 W-4 worksheet lets you include expected tips, overtime, car-loan interest and senior deductions here.

About even

A positive difference suggests a federal refund; a negative one suggests you may owe. Other income, deductions and credits change it.

How state tax is estimated

We estimate the state income tax you'll owe for the year — wages, minus pre-tax deductions your state allows, minus its standard deduction and exemptions — then apply the state's 2026 brackets and credits, and divide by your number of paychecks. Your employer's withholding uses each state's own formula, so individual paychecks can differ by a few dollars. Employee-paid state programs (disability insurance, paid family leave and similar) are shown separately with their wage caps.

Bonuses and other supplemental pay

Federal withholding on a bonus paid separately is usually a flat 22% (37% on supplemental pay over $1 million in a year). Oklahoma doesn't publish a single flat rate we could confirm, so employers typically add the bonus to regular pay for the period when working out state withholding. Use the bonus tax calculator to see what a bonus check will look like.

What this estimate leaves out

  • Small credits (state EITC, sales tax relief) aren't included.
  • Only wages are taxed here. For Oklahoma income tax on investment and self-employment income for the whole year, use the state income tax calculator.
  • We assume you live and work in Oklahoma. Federal limitations are listed on the main paycheck calculator.

Sources and verification

Figures checked on October 9, 2026 (read from the state's own publications). Brackets (0% band, then 2.5% / 3.5% / 4.5%) and the $1,000 exemption read from the OTC 2026 withholding tables, whose zero-tax thresholds equal standard deduction plus 0% band. Standard deductions read from the 2025 Form 511. All cross-checked with the Tax Foundation 2026 table. The HoH schedule assignment comes from statute and was not re-read in a 2026 document.
