How US paycheck taxes work in 2026
Every US employee pays three layers of tax on wages. Federal income tax is progressive: after the $16,100 standard deduction (single), income is taxed at 10%, 12%, 22%, 24%, 32%, 35% and 37%. FICA adds 6.2% Social Security on the first $184,500 of wages and 1.45% Medicare on all wages, plus 0.9% Additional Medicare above $200,000. State income tax ranges from zero in 9 states to a top rate of 13.3% in California.
A 401(k) contribution lowers federal and most state income tax but not FICA, so each dollar saves roughly your federal bracket rate plus your state rate. Use the slider above to see the effect: on a $75,000 salary in the 22% bracket, a 10% ($7,500) contribution saves about $1,650 in federal tax alone.
