  3. 3 Enter any other regular monthly deductions.

Worked examples

Limitations

  • Uses a single flat effective tax rate rather than modeling progressive tax brackets exactly — check your actual pay stub or a local tax calculator for precise figures.

Frequently asked questions

What is an 'effective' tax rate?

It's your total tax paid divided by total income — usually lower than your top marginal bracket, since progressive systems only tax higher brackets at higher rates on the portion within that bracket.
