Frequently asked questions
Why do I need to enter my own tax rate?
Real tax systems use brackets, credits, and region-specific rules that vary enormously by country and even by state or province — a single generic calculator can't model all of them accurately. Using your own estimated effective rate keeps this honest rather than falsely precise.
What should I use as my tax rate?
Your effective tax rate from a recent pay stub or tax return is the most accurate input — that's your total tax divided by your total gross income.
