About This Calculator
Our income tax calculator calculates your federal, state and local taxes based on several key inputs: your household income, location, filing status and number of personal exemptions.
How Income Taxes Are Calculated
-
First, we calculate your adjusted gross income (AGI) by taking your total household income and reducing it by certain items such as contributions to your 401(k).
-
Next, from AGI we subtract exemptions and deductions (either itemized or standard) to get your taxable income. Exemptions can be claimed for each taxpayer.
-
Based on your filing status, your taxable income is then applied to the tax brackets to calculate your federal income taxes owed for the year.
-
Your location will determine whether you owe local and / or state taxes.
When Do We Update? - We check for any updates to the latest tax rates and regulations annually.
Customer Service - If you would like to leave any feedback, feel free to email info@smartasset.com.
Assumptions
Deductions
- "Other Pre-Tax Deductions" are not used to calculate state taxable income.
Credits
- The only federal credit automatically calculated is the Savers Credit, depending on your eligibility.
- We do not apply any refundable credits, like the Child Tax Credit or Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC).
- We do not apply state credits in our calculations.
Itemized Deductions
- If itemizing at the federal level, you may need to itemize at the state level too. Some states don't allow itemized deductions, which is accounted for in our calculations.
- When calculating the SALT deduction for itemized deductions, we use state and local taxes, and we assume your MAGI.
- We assume that there is no cap to itemized deductions, if a state allows them.
- We do not categorize itemized deductions (such as medical expenses or mortgage interest), which could be subject to specific caps per state.
Local Tax
- Depending on the state, we calculate local taxes at the city level or county level. We do not include local taxes on school districts, metro areas or combine county and city taxes.
- With the exception of NYC, Yonkers, and Portland/Multnomah County, we assume local taxes are a flat tax on either state taxable income or gross income.
