W-4 Withholding Calculator calculates 2024 federal income tax using current brackets, FICA (6.2% SS up to $168,600 + 1.45% Medicare), child tax credit ($2,000/child with phase-out at $200K/$400K), and divides by pay periods to give per-paycheck withholding recommendation.
W-4 Withholding Calculator is a high-performance utility designed to help users streamline their workflow. Built with modern web technologies, it ensures fast processing times and high-quality outputs directly in your browser.
Federal tax uses 2024 tax brackets after standard deduction ($14,600 single/$29,200 MFJ/$21,900 HOH). Child tax credit $2,000 per child under 17 (phases out $50/$1,000 above $200K/$400K). FICA: SS 6.2% up to $168,600 + Medicare 1.45%. Per-paycheck withholding = annual tax / pay periods + extra withholding.
The IRS redesigned the W-4 in 2020, removing allowances. The new form uses a step-by-step approach with dollar amounts instead of allowance numbers.
The new W-4 doesn't use allowances. Instead, enter your actual situation (dependents, extra income, itemized deductions) for the most accurate withholding.
Estimate your take-home pay after federal, FICA, state taxes, 401(k), and health premiums.
