About HourlyTakeHome
HourlyTakeHome is a small, independent set of US pay calculators. The goal is narrow: answer "what will I actually take home?" in a few seconds, with the arithmetic shown, on a page that loads fast and does not ask for your email.
What makes it different
- Every state, every rate. 50 states plus DC with their real 2026 brackets, not a national average.
- Live math, not screenshots. The calculator and the text on each page run on the same engine, so the numbers never disagree.
- Nothing leaves your browser. There is no account, no form submission, and no analytics on the numbers you type.
- Honest about limits. Methodology lists exactly what the estimates exclude.
Who it is for
Job seekers comparing offers in two states, hourly workers checking an overtime week, freelancers pricing a contract, and anyone who wants to sanity-check a first paycheck before asking payroll.

Corrections and questions: hello@hourlytakehome.com. If a state changed a rate and the page has not caught up, that email gets a fix within a day.
HourlyTakeHome is not a tax preparer, law firm, or financial adviser, and the calculators are estimates rather than tax advice.
