Why H-1B earners use an estimator
Offer letters show gross salary. Rent, remittances, and savings goals depend on net pay after federal tax, state tax, Social Security, and Medicare. A rough model helps you plan before your first paycheck.
What this tool simplifies
- Uses approximate brackets and standard deduction assumptions
- Applies illustrative state rates — not every locality
- Ignores many credits, AMT, city taxes, and treaty nuances
Next step
After you have pay stubs, compare your withholding to an updated projection. If you have equity, multiple states, or dual-status years, get personal tax help early.
