Formula
Net = gross − pre-tax deductions − federal income tax − state income tax − FICA. Social Security is 6.2% up to the wage base; Medicare is 1.45% (plus 0.9% above the threshold). Pre-tax deductions lower income tax but not FICA.
Frequently asked questions
Do 401(k) contributions lower FICA?⌄
No. Traditional 401(k) contributions reduce income subject to federal and state income tax, but Social Security and Medicare are still withheld on your full gross wages.
Why is my pre-tax contribution subtracted from take-home?⌄
Because that money goes into your retirement or HSA account rather than your paycheck. It's still yours — it just isn't part of cash take-home pay.
Sources & methodology
Based on 2025 US federal rules and FICA (SS wage base $176,100), plus a flat state rate and pre-tax deductions. Estimate only — excludes graduated state brackets and credits.
