Estimate only, for planning — not tax advice or a substitute for IRS Form W-4 or the IRS Tax Withholding Estimator. Covers federal income tax withholding using 2026 brackets and the standard deduction (Rev. Proc. 2025-32). It excludes Social Security and Medicare (FICA), California and other state withholding, itemized deductions, multiple-job effects, the QBI deduction, other credits and income, and AMT. California withholding is calculated separately. Confirm your situation with a CPA before changing your withholding.
