State
This calculator is specifically designed for Wisconsin state taxes. Wisconsin has a progressive income tax system with rates ranging from 3.50% to 7.65%.
Pay Type
Select whether you’re paid an annual salary or an hourly rate. This determines how your income is calculated.
Annual Salary
Your total yearly income before any deductions. For hourly employees, this is calculated from your hourly rate and hours worked.
Pay Frequency
How often you receive payment. Options range from daily to annual, affecting how much you receive in each paycheck.
Filing Status
Your tax filing status affects your tax brackets and rates. Different statuses have different income thresholds for tax rates.
Allowances
Allowances reduce the amount of tax withheld from your paycheck. More allowances mean less tax withheld but potentially a larger tax bill.
Pre-Tax Deductions
Amounts deducted from your pay before taxes are calculated, such as 401(k) contributions or health insurance premiums.
Post-Tax Deductions
Amounts deducted from your pay after taxes are calculated, such as union dues or charitable contributions.
Additional Withholding
Extra federal tax you want withheld from each paycheck. This can help avoid owing taxes at year-end.
