WageFrame is a free U.S. paycheck calculator for 2026. It helps employees, job seekers, and anyone comparing compensation estimate how gross pay reaches take-home pay using official federal and state sources. Choose a state and pay schedule, enter gross pay and Form W-4 details, then review estimated federal income tax, Social Security, Medicare, state withholding, supported employee programs, and selected local rules. Calculations run privately in the browser, no account is required, and every result identifies assumptions and omissions. WageFrame also provides hourly, overtime, PTO, gross-up, shift-differential, remote-work, and state-comparison tools, plus methodology, data-source, changelog, guide, and 50-state research pages. It provides educational estimates only and is not payroll software or tax, legal, financial, or payroll advice.
