Methodology & sources

Metodología - EE. UU. (federal, 2026)

Actualizado: abril 2026. Fuentes: IRS Rev. Proc. 2025-32 (IR-2025-103, 9 oct 2025), IRS Publication 15-T (2026), IRS Publication 15 (Circular E), SSA Contribution and Benefit Base, One Big Beautiful Bill Act (Pub. L. 119-21 del 4 jul 2025). Sin impuestos estatales ni locales.

W-2 (empleado) - modelo por periodo de pago

La retención federal del impuesto sobre la renta usa la Publication 15-T (2026), Worksheet 1A (Percentage Method, nómina automatizada). Se admite el Form W-4 de 2020 o posterior: Step 2 (casilla de dos empleos), Step 3 (créditos anuales), Step 4(a) otros ingresos, Step 4(b) deducciones, Step 4(c) retención adicional y la marca "exempt". Cuando el Step 2 NO está marcado, al salario anual se le suman $8,600 (single/MFS/HOH) o $12,900 (MFJ) antes de la consulta; cuando está marcado, no se ajusta (tramos a la mitad en tablas dedicadas).

FICA (2026)

  • Social Security: 6,2% empleado / 6,2% empleador, base salarial anual $184,500 (SSA).
  • Medicare: 1,45% empleado / 1,45% empleador, sin tope.
  • Additional Medicare 0,9% - el empleador debe retener sobre los salarios acumulados pagados por este empleador por encima de $200,000 (umbrales de responsabilidad del empleado: $250k MFJ, $125k MFS, $200k single/HOH).
  • FUTA: 0,6% efectivo sobre los primeros $7,000 de salario al año (supone el crédito estatal estándar).

Neto -> bruto (W-2)

Para un pago neto objetivo por periodo, hacemos búsqueda binaria sobre el salario bruto de modo que la función bruto -> neto coincida, manteniendo fijos el W-4 y los datos YTD.

1099 / trabajo por cuenta propia - estimador anual

  • SE tax (Schedule SE): 92,35% del beneficio neto x (12,4% Social Security hasta $184,500 combinado con salarios W-2 + 2,9% Medicare + 0,9% Additional Medicare sobre la parte que supera el umbral del filing status).
  • Si el beneficio neto < $400, no se debe SE tax (§1402(b)(2)).
  • ½ del SE tax es una deducción "above-the-line" (Schedule 1).
  • Standard deduction 2026 (post-OBBBA): single / MFS $16,100; MFJ $32,200; HOH $24,150.
  • Tramos federales progresivos 2026 (Rev. Proc. 2025-32): 10% / 12% / 22% / 24% / 32% / 35% / 37%.
  • Pago trimestral sugerido (Form 1040-ES) = ¼ x (SE + IT) - simplificado, sin lógica de safe-harbor.

Herramienta aparte (otra URL): retención federal fija obligatoria del 22% sobre supplemental wages, y 37% sobre la parte por encima del umbral de $1,000,000 de supplemental YTD, más FICA y costo opcional del empleador. NO es un tercer modo dentro del calculador de salario.

Preguntas frecuentes

United States - W-2 employee

Why doesn't this calculator include state tax?
The model covers only federal FITW, FICA (Social Security + Medicare) and federal FUTA. State income tax (from 0% in TX/FL to ~13% in CA) and local (NYC, Philadelphia, etc.) are excluded. For full net, subtract state withholding separately - state revenue departments publish their own calculators.
How do I fill W-4 steps 2-4 in the calculator?
Step 2 (multiple jobs): check if you or your spouse have a second job - the higher withholding table applies. Step 3 (dependents): annual credits ($2,000/child, $500/other dependent). Step 4a: other annual income (interest, dividends) - raises withholding. Step 4b: additional deductions beyond standard (itemized). Step 4c: extra dollars withheld per paycheck. Keep inputs consistent with the W-4 filed with your employer.
How does the 2026 FICA cap work?
Social Security: 6.2% up to $184,500 annual (2026 wage base) - nothing withheld above. Medicare: 1.45% uncapped. Additional Medicare: 0.9% starting at $200,000 (single) / $250,000 (MFJ) / $125,000 (MFS). Enter YTD Social Security wages before this paycheck so the calculator stops SS withholding at the cap.
I'm getting a bonus - can I use this calculator?
Not in the regular W-2 mode. Supplemental wages (bonus, commission, severance) follow separate rules: flat 22% FITW, 37% on amounts above $1M YTD supplemental. Use the separate "Bonus tax calculator" - link is on this page. FICA on bonus works the same as on regular pay.
Why does changing pay frequency change my monthly net?
Publication 15-T Worksheet 1A computes withholding on an annualized basis but applies the table for the chosen frequency (weekly, biweekly, monthly, etc.). Two biweekly checks × 26 vs one monthly × 12 differ slightly due to rounding and threshold alignment. Use the frequency that matches your actual payroll.
What does the model NOT include?
Excludes: state/local taxes, pre-tax deductions (traditional 401(k), HSA, Section 125 / FSA, health insurance) - enter gross net of those if you use such plans. Does not compute: EITC, refundable Child Tax Credit portion, AMT, QBI, state credits, nonresident alien rules, reciprocity agreements. 2026 standard deduction: $16,100 single, $32,200 MFJ, $24,150 HOH.
