State tax is not in this figure. State tax for West Virginia is not included, because the full 2026 state table for West Virginia has not been verified in this build. Treat this figure as before state tax, not as a final take-home figure.

Read this before you use the take-home figure. It is a single-filer estimate using the 2026 standard deduction. It leaves out credits, other deductions, local taxes, and retirement or health deductions. Your actual paycheck can differ, and for states without a verified 2026 table in this build, state tax is still to be added once its table is verified.
