Why you keep less than your raise
Every extra dollar earned is taxed at your marginal rate — the rate on the top slice of your income. A 10% raise doesn't increase take-home by 10%. Federal, FICA, and state taxes all take a cut first. This calculator estimates the federal + FICA impact (single filer, 2025 brackets, standard deduction). Add your state income tax rate for a more precise figure.
