Pay & salary tools

About PaycheckRadar

Why PaycheckRadar exists and how the project approaches paycheck calculations.

PaycheckRadar is built around a simple idea: make take-home pay easy to understand without hiding the assumptions behind a black box.

Depth before blanket coverage

The launch version covers federal withholding, nine priority states, New York City resident withholding and a focused group of salary tools. New jurisdictions are added only after their rules and primary sources are implemented.

What makes the project different

We favor official-source methods, local browser calculation, visible limitations and regression tests over giant forms and unexplained numbers.
