Formula

Take-Home = Gross - Federal Tax - State Tax - FICA

Federal income tax is calculated using progressive tax brackets. Your income is divided into portions, each taxed at a different rate. FICA taxes include Social Security (6.2% on income up to $168,600) and Medicare (1.45% on all income). State taxes vary by state and are estimated using average effective rates.
