About
Calculate, visualize, and compare income taxes across different countries worldwide. Features interactive charts and tools to see how your salary is taxed in various locations, with support for over 60 countries across Americas, Europe, Asia Pacific, and Middle East & Africa.
At a glance
Tax (howmuch.tax) is a free web estimator for income tax and take-home pay. It has calculators for 66 countries and territories, a 27-country European net-salary comparison and a side-by-side tool for any locations. The US calculator is labelled 2026 Tax Year. It splits out federal, state and payroll deductions and converts net pay to monthly, biweekly, daily and hourly figures.
Good fit
Someone weighing a job offer or a move who wants a rough sense of how one gross salary nets out in different places or US states. Also anyone curious how tax systems compare. Use the results to decide what to ask a local adviser.
Consider something else when
You need a figure to file with or a confirmed tax liability to budget around. The site labels its results as estimates that may not reflect actual tax liabilities. Use it to compare scenarios, then confirm the figures with an authoritative calculator or a qualified adviser.
Start here
In the US calculator, pick a state, open Advanced Options and set filing status: Single, Married Jointly, Married Separately or Head of Household. Add itemized deductions there if you have them. Employer payroll contributions appear in a separate column and are not taken from your pay, so do not subtract them.
Cost and requirements
Free and browser-based, with no sign-in required to open the US calculator. The page also offers Copy for AI and Share Receipt actions; check what a receipt contains before sharing salary information.
Limits to know
The US calculator covers federal and state income tax plus payroll deductions, including Social Security, Medicare and state disability insurance. Its options do not establish support for city taxes, residency complications or non-salary income. Coverage and tax years may differ between countries.
Still unclear
- Does the US calculator model city income taxes such as New York City's?
- Which tax year and deductions do the non-US calculators use?
- What do Copy for AI and Share Receipt produce, and does a shared receipt include your salary?
