About United States Income Tax
United States operates a progressive income tax system, where your salary is split into brackets and each portion is taxed at the corresponding rate. The calculator applies these brackets exactly as defined in the Jan-Dec tax year rules.
In addition to income tax, workers in United States also contribute to social security (which typically covers pension, health, and unemployment insurance). The employee portion of social security contributions is deducted from gross salary before take-home pay is determined.
