Estimates, not advice

MyTakeHomePaycheck.com provides free calculators that estimate take-home pay using published 2026 federal tax figures and researched state tax rules. Results are for general informational purposes only and are not tax, financial, or legal advice. Your actual paycheck depends on factors these calculators can't see — local taxes, employer-specific deductions, pre-tax benefits, tax credits, and your individual circumstances. Consult a qualified tax professional for advice about your situation.

Overtime deduction — important limitations

Our overtime calculator models the federal "no tax on overtime" deduction (2025 law, tax years 2025–2028) as an estimate only:

• Eligibility is assumed, not verified. The deduction only applies to non-exempt employees earning FLSA-qualifying overtime. We cannot determine your exemption status or whether your hours qualify — that depends on your job duties and federal labor law.
• Benefit arrives at tax filing, not in your paycheck. The deduction reduces your federal income tax when you file your return (larger refund or smaller balance due). It does not automatically increase your weekly take-home pay unless you adjust your tax withholding with your employer.
• Your employer's W-2 controls. Starting with tax year 2026, employers report qualifying overtime amounts to the IRS. If your employer's reporting differs from our estimate, their figures govern what you can claim.
• Phaseout and caps are approximated. The $12,500/$25,000 caps and income phaseouts are modeled on annualized estimates; your actual MAGI and final figures may differ.

Accuracy

We work to keep tax figures current, but tax law changes. We make no guarantees that every figure is complete or up to date, and we're not liable for decisions you make based on these estimates.
