Tax time is here! Are you ready for it?

WithholdingCalc is an ad-free estimator for your pay check. Input your pay check gross pay, pre-tax deductions (insurance, 401k, etc.), filing status, state, and withholding allowances from your W-4 and get an estimate of how much of each of your pay checks is going to the government, and how much is going into your pocket. You can see how to optimize your monthly budget and make sure youve had enough taxes held back for tax time!

Want to get even more advanced? Switch over to the advanced view and you can enter extra withholding amounts for both Federal and State taxes, and separate filing status and withholding allowance amounts for your state to get an even more accurate picture of your tax withholding. WithholdingCalc lets you easily manipulate the numbers from your W-4 form to help you get an accurate picture of your budget and how much tax withholding you will have accumulated for tax season.

WithholdingCalc is based on current 2018 tax rates for most federal and state tax rates for the 41 states that have income tax plus the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico. We will update Withholding Calc as further tax rate changes come in.

WithholdingCalc uses an annualized method for computing taxes for most jurisdictions. This means that the total tax withholding that it computes may be slightly different from what your employer computes. Generally the two numbers will agree to within a few cents. If they dont, please use our contact form to let us know and well investigate it!

With the updates some of the 2018 tax brackets now in place, well be adding in some of the features weve been working on, like the option to compute your pay check based on an hourly pay rate (with or without overtime pay), calculations for places where there are local taxes as well as state taxes, and more accurate options for states like Arizona which use flat percentage options for withholding instead of a withholding allowance amount.

The 2018 IRS tax brackets arent available yet, but well be adding them as soon as they are.

WithholdingCalc is not endorsed by any taxing authority, including the Department of the Treasury or the Internal Revenue Service (They want you to give them too much money :) ).

Pros and cons of Withholding Calc app for iPhone and iPad

Withholding Calc app good for

So this app I was very hesitant to purchase but once I did this app helps me greatly plan out my incoming money since $15 an hour isnt really $15 an hour. This app is accurate to within a few dollars. Now I have more control over my finances cause of this information. Very useful tool.
I dont know what other people are looking for for this app but it contains the most important info that we mostly need.

Some bad moments

Not useful if you work/live in NYC. Calculation does not account for NYC tax and SDI.
This app no longer calculates the California withholding tax properly for single and weekly.
NY withholding and Fed is quite accurate. Im not sure if would work ok if NYC unless the user manually deducts the amount withheld. This of course defeats the purpose of the program. If you dont have local withholding, I think this program is great to have. The program does not format for the ipad. Does not all allow State input and "paste" icons appear on the screen. OK for iphone - NOT ipad.
I work in production. 95 percent of the time we get paid without taxes being taken out. This app does the job helping figuring out how exactly my paycheck will be. Kudos to the creators. I will defiantly be referring this app to fellow co workers.
I bought this app based on good reviews and the layout of the program. However, their calculations for federal and California withholdings are off by a good $150 dollars! I sure hope they correct this problem soon.
After the update the program works great now. Customer service is excellent. I use it for quick payroll subtraction on my small business so I do not have to look up the % every time.
