Where a country uses a flat-rate approximation, exact figures vary by deductions, locality, credits and filing status — consult a qualified accountant for filing.
Questions
How accurate is this?
It uses 2026 brackets where published and the most recent enacted rates elsewhere, with the standard personal allowance / standard deduction baked in. For tax filing, use a qualified accountant; for forecasting, the figures sit within a few percent of actual payroll for a typical earner.
Which countries are covered?
The library now covers roughly 60 countries. The largest economies — United States, United Kingdom, Germany, France, Canada, Australia, Japan, India and similar — use bracket-accurate progressive calculations, with sub-national breakdowns where they materially change the result (US states, Canadian provinces, UK regions, Swiss cantons). Smaller jurisdictions use flat-rate approximations of the typical middle band. If your country is missing or you'd like a sharper figure for one we already cover, send us a request.
Does this account for 401(k), HSA, pension or other pre-tax contributions?
Not in this version. The calculator assumes no pre-tax deductions, so the gross figure is what you and your employer agreed. To model retirement or pension contributions across a full forecast, use the Pro scenarios planner.
Why a flat rate for some countries?
Most income-tax systems are progressive, but for a planning estimate a single effective rate is within ~1% of the bracketed figure for a typical middle-income earner. We use bracket-accurate maths for the major economies and flat approximations for smaller jurisdictions where the day-to-day variance from deductions, credits and locality dwarfs the bracket effect.
