The intent is to provide an up-to-date, lightweight tool for anyone trying to quickly understand take-home pay. The design goal was simplicity: one page, minimal inputs, instant breakdown.
Questions for the community: • What additional features would actually make this more useful (e.g., 401k, health deductions, local taxes)? • Would people prefer a simple “quick estimate” vs. a more configurable advanced mode? • From a technical/product perspective, what would you change or add?
Feedback is welcome, especially from those who have dealt with paycheck calculators before or have strong opinions on usability.

Also, federal and state income tax withholding is just an estimate, not your actual tax liability. It does not take into account other income or deductions or credits that your employer knows nothing about.
