In addition to helping you determine the effect of 401(k) contributions on your take-home pay, a Paycheck Calculator will let you know if you’re deducting the correct amount of money from your check to cover your tax obligation. If you received a significant amount of investment income not subject to withholding, you can elect to have more money withheld from your paycheck, so you’re not hit with a big surprise tax bill due in April.
While a refund at the end of the year can be a welcome bonus, you also don’t want to overpay, as this may unnecessarily stretch your money too thin throughout the year. Keep in mind, you are not earning interest on excess money paid while the IRS hangs onto it. Adjusting your tax withholding can help you welcome a new baby, get married, pay for divorce, or buy a new house.

You’ll need a list of all income sources to determine your annual income. The calculator will ask you for:
In the context of a business, the net income is the profit the company earns after paying all operating costs. This includes all taxes and deductions.
If you haven’t gotten married, had kids, or filed for divorce over the past year, you may not have needed the W4 Form in a long time. If you got a particularly large bill or refund last year, it’s wise to consider adjusting your withholdings.
The W4 lets you adjust your withholdings based on:
