Assumptions and limits

  • United States federal ordinary income only, tax year 2026. All amounts are USD. Rules snapshot: IRS Rev. Proc. 2025-32, verified October 24, 2026.
  • The basic standard deduction assumes an adult under 65 who is not blind and cannot be claimed as a dependent. Otherwise choose entered deductions after checking eligibility.
  • No state tax, payroll tax, self-employment tax, AMT, preferential capital-gains tax, refundable credits, dependent eligibility or special deduction phaseouts are calculated. This is not take-home pay or a tax return.
  • Credits and entered deductions are your eligible totals; the tool does not determine entitlement. Recheck source rules before filing.
