Look into the future!!

I am in love with this App!! Because I am hourly and my hours fluctuate weekly, I’m able to get a glance at what my paycheck will look like. All you have to do is put in the Deduction Amounts (PreTax & Post Tax) and Dependents and the App Calculates your taxes and does EVERYTHING ELSE!! I’ve been using this App for over a year and it is off by maybe $10.. However, when it has been off, I actually short changed myself a few hundred dollars, so I was even more surprised when I received my check. The good thing about that is, I budgeted for the amount the APP gave me..

Should explain each labeled category to get 5 starts

If this app would explain the description for each of the categories it’s able to access and include in estimating your check, this would be a much better app but I’m still left with a vague sense of unknown expectation for what my forthcoming check will look like, because there not much clarify for some of the other areas users can adjust and use for calculating their payroll to be expected. If this was made a feature, this would be a cool and helpful tool, which features limited ads, and gives users a better more concise estimate for what’s to be expected on their forthcoming payday— this happens to still leave me confused, though, and thus my rating is pretty fair since the app doesn’t do more than whats easily calculated and perhaps why uses look for something similar to the app. If this app had made clear the definitive categories appropriate to my personal tax needs, not only would it be a much better app, but it would also easily have earned 5/5 stars and given me a far better experience overall! Hopefully that’s changed soon bc without that, it’s served me no real beneficial purpose and i could probably find an app just as good, or better, and with more definitions for what is/isn’t applicable to me, with explanations for the variations it provided uses but didn’t elaborate for their user friendly experience!

Pretty accurate

This app is very easy to use- BUT personally only thing I wish the allowances were a little more specific to the deductions that you claim on your federal w4 like how many dependents you have with the actual amount put in ($2000 for the first and $500 for each additional after that). You should be able to put what your filing status is like head of household or married filing separately, married filing jointly, single, etc. Users would really like to see as many details as possible when determining their net income each week. I want to know how much money I will have to work with to pay bills and plan for future events. All we really have to go by for calculating how much money is our hours worked- we don’t know how to calculate the Federal, State, Social Security or Medicare tax. I would like an update with these details added to the app. Otherwise it is very accurate! I compared it to my check, accuracy was within less than $1!!! Highly recommended!!!

Decent App but could be better with right ideas.

It’s not a bad app at all it’s very useful. Although it Could have a few different features included such as “The Reveal”, which shows how, Who, where or what their money is funding in tax’s pairs every pay period. Nothing too fancy that would require payment but even something as simple as panels that reveal what the tax is, funds, or just fun facts to remember. One more separate idea that could require a small fee such as $4.99-$9.99, is a W-4 starter that begins the complete breakdown explanation that is involved with a W-4 and a W-2. Also, how important it is to be accurate when filling one of these forms out. But also scripted in a style of 2 choice’s. A; “Dumbs Down” the explanation is center to the main importance of each section and what is required from you. Or B; “Knowledge Is Power”. A detailed description of each section individually and the requirements from you and why it’s required. Anything could be done with this.

Great app to calculate my weekly pay!!

So far so good and it’s one of the better apps out there that I’ve used to calculate what my weekly paychecks are going to be. Kind of gives me a pretty close estimate so I can do my weekly budget. A suggestion is to add a section somewhere in there where some of us who gets a Shift premium/bonus for working 2nd or 3rd, which often times isn’t calculated into a person’s hourly pay but into the tax scheme overall. That would be helpful for me and for sure others. Just a thought. Great app and looking forward to future updates. Hopefully my suggestion makes the cut.

Right on the money

This was about right on the money about $30 lest than what I got so it was a very happy surprise. My work in EMS was giving incentives for COVID, and overtime because of how crazy everything is going so kind of hard to figure out what all that meant after taxes. This app takes care of that, I was surprised to see what the app said my check was going to be. I was worried it was way off but it was totally on it. If I had one word to us it would be AWESOME!!!!

Really Helpful & Accurate

I enjoy using this app. It is really useful when it comes to keeping up with my pay as I work hours. It’s been very accurate for me aside from the federal which it accurately deducts but my employer does not. I have recommended this app to all of my co workers when I hear then guessing and estimating what their paycheck might be or should be I simply tell them to download this app and they are happy.

2 years ago, The Truth..from my pov

Good

It’s really accurate in my case. Maybe your tax situation is different from mine but it’s never off more than I would say 10 15 tops 20 that’s not bad. Some times I make more than what they say but it’s definitely in the ball park. Helped me out planning events and paying bills. Even helped me calculate if promotions if they were worth it or just going to a different company that pays more. This app helped me a lot

4 star

This app is great! I’ve recommended it to several people. I’m getting married in December 2022 so being able to use this app helps a lot. When you put in your hours, it gives what it “thinks” you end up getting paid. It’s always a little lower than what you actually get and that’s what I love about it. Because if I plan my saving/spending around what it tells me, when I actually get my paycheck I end up with a little more than what I planned for.

Great app!

It’s handy to figure out what I’ll be getting for the most part from now on. As a person with two jobs instead of a high paying one (which I’m working towards) I like to know down to the smallest amount versus making broad estimates. I guess the only actual gripe I have is that the yearly net pay should also be included in the breakdown, but I’m giving it 5 stars anyway because I haven’t found any other app that makes it this simple! Great work!

2 years ago, Angry&Displeased

Very useful without being too complicated

This was surprisingly accurate. I usually calculate my pay using spreadsheets and when I compare it to my actual paystubs the spreadsheets are always off by a maximum of $30. This is within the accuracy of my spreadsheets and also portable. My overtime varies and this helps me calculate my disposable income on the fly. Great job creating this app. The simplicity makes it gold.

Travel Nurse

I would have gladly paid for this app. As a travel nurse, I have taxable (normal hourly) and non taxable (housing/food/relocation costs) income every week, that are considered part of my weekly income. This app allows me to calculate not only how much I’m making with my normal pay (or see what my contracts look like), but also allows me to project my income if I take another shift because of overtime. It’s INVALUABLE!!!!

3 years ago, Trucker Nurse J

Works like a charm!

I’m a travel nurse and this app usually gets within $5 of my actual paycheck with my check being the higher amount. Tons of pay types to add and choose from including non-taxable income which helps during my contracts. It hasn’t failed me yet and will always recommend this to others.

Income Mode

App does EVERYTHING I need it to do. Only if it was able to provide me a “monthly mode” for the income mode section, it would be more accurate for a targeted group of people. In my case, I’m in the military, and I receive payments bimonthly on a monthly basis. In that case I would give a 5 star. I like that the app underestimates by a few bucks so I’m not disappointed when I get my check too. Thanks for the awesome app!

Paycheck calculator

This app helps me calculate my check while I’m working my hours and it informs me on how much my check will be when I receive it…it’s very simple not hard at all you just need to know all your work information and everything else will take care of itself utilizing this app

2 years ago, Lady Orion

Really well rounded

I’ve used other apps prior to finding this one- man have I been missing out. This one allows you to add in overtime projections without any issues or having to rewrite everything. It’s just automatically updated to the take home pay. I very much appreciate this app and it an awesome tool.

Very accurate

App is very accurate and gives me a true representation of my upcoming check. I would, however, like to be able to label my deductions and would like the option of paying for an ad. Free version. All that aside this app is what it says it is and that is what I expect

4 years ago, Imafia six slot

Almost 5/5

This app is better than any other I've used so far. However there are a couple things I really wish were on the app. Like the ability to see the breakdown of how much money per paycheck your deductions are for post-tax deductions. It would be pretty cool to add a second job option too. So you can see your potential earnings for two different jobs for two different pay rates.

Perfect!

I got a raise and wanted to find a tool to calculate my check, but all the others were either difficult or lacking...but I tested this by calculating my current paycheck and it got it right within a few dollars. I then tested it on my raise amount and was thoroughly satisfied with the result. 5 stars easily. It’s so easy to use and has every field you’d need.

Amazing!!!

This is frickin amazing. I can keep an estimate of all my straight pay, overtime, double time, and incentive bonuses! This is the only app I could find that does that. I wish I could keep a timesheet with it on my hours, but this is pretty solid. I just started using this today. Thank you so much!

2 years ago, MeBino901

Perfect

Now i know exactly how much my check will be after taxes instead of just guessing from my gross income how much my net pay will be exactly this makes it easier for me to manage my budget before I get paid 👍🏽wish I would’ve knew about this app along time ago

3 years ago, Anonymous09987665432

It’s a good app

It’s a very good app, to use if you want to check your weekly or bi-weekly checks from your work. It also shows you how much your actually suppose to receive and you can tell your employer if your not getting the correct amount of money in your checks.

10 months ago, Timberwolf223

Pre-calculate awesomely

At first I wasn’t sure if this app would do the trick but it does. It definitely estimates taxes and every deduction known or commonly occurs. The only problem is I wish it can do multiple calculations especially if a person works multiple jobs and able to add them together. But doing one at a time is good enough for now.

Accurate most of the time I love this app I can calculate my earnings before payday and kinda get an idea of what my check will be after taxes and whatever other deductions….it hasn’t failed me long as you key in all rite information it won’t fail you either

2 years ago, Daniellepauley

Helpful

I like to know around about how much I will be getting paid so I can see how much I will have left over after paying bills. This app has to be hands down one of the best apps I’ve found to get even remotely close to the amount on my check.

Just What I Needed

This app is so kool!!! It breaks down everything check-wise important you need. It even allows you to change wages and add extra pay, etc. Don’t think about it, just try this and you too will be hooked. Thank you developers for creating an awesome app.

Very Good Salary Calculator

This App works great, I noticed no matter how many days I work in a payroll period the App is off by a whopping $0.02, I can deal with that because the Excel spreadsheet I create back in 2014 was off by the same amount until this year where it when off by some crazy amounts. So I do recommend you to give this app a try.

Best app for paychecks I’ve ever used. Adds everything for u and takes out all deductions without any ads after the first one to get started. Highly recommend for anyone who wants a fast easy way to get your paycheck right every time with no hassle!!!

2 years ago, Gfunk0901

Great app!

This has helped my husband and me figure out what bills we can pay and when. Basically living paycheck to paycheck it’s nice know what exactly the paycheck will be. Even able to factor in insurance and everything else that comes out. If you are budgeting this is a great app!

2 years ago, BonnieVille

I like it

This app is useful in many ways for figuring income. I would like to figure out what all features are available for narrowing down by paycheck when deductions come out and they vary. I am completely enjoying the learning process though. Very informative.

6 months ago, Ayokesh88

Very Helpful

Very helpful & useful for estimating my paycheck. I also like that the amount that is estimated is always lower then my actual paycheck. Because it’s like getting a small surprise every payday expecting one amount then actually receiving a higher amount.

2 years ago, UppercaseJay

Thi…..this app is still free? 👀

With all the features this app provides, I’m genuinely surprised that the developer still gives it to us for free……not that I’m complaining. I use this every time I want/need to randomly look up certain salaries, and it takes a ton of guesswork out of tax deductions.

Opinion on app

Ap is very simple and understanding! If I had one thing that I wish were added it would be to help people understand how much is supposed to come out for Medicare, federal, and social sec as to the percentages to help us better understand the figures

Best Paycheck Calculator

This is definitely the best app that I’ve ever used to calculate my paycheck. I have a complicated pay structure- a whole mix of hourly, commission, and tips- and it calculates it all. I even have it take out my bills after taxes so I can see how much spending I’ll have. I love this app.

2 years ago, Yuyushamanpiece

It’s great help with n budgeting, but not 100%

This is not a knock on the app or the dev. But it doesn’t take into account stuff like city taxes and a few other things it legitimately can’t be accurate on all the time. Just account for it to be $10 less then its prediction and you should be good! Or I just goofed somewhere on my end

1 year ago, Emmamma13

Plan ahead easily

This is a great app to help with planning a budget. I have used this app with my high school son to help him plan his future. He uses it to help research jobs so he knows ahead of time how much he would need to save and how much he would have to spend.

16 year old working

Just wished that you could have a option to toggle the federal tax I’m 16 years old living in Texas while other taxes do get taken out the federal taxes does not take from mine yet I got a year and a half before I do get the 18% tax instead of my current 8% tax

3 years ago, KalliyHerr

Easy to use.

Makes things easy to change and although a tutorial may be helpful for some people, I figured it out and use the app every week to make sure my check is correct and it makes more sense to me than any other app I’ve used

2 years ago, Damiana1

Great for estimating

This app is not always spot on but it is within the range of what you can expect usually it is about $40-$60 off Close enough to where you can figure out if you can pay your important bills

2 years ago, De Graves

Great App

It was difficult for me to determine the pay scale when first starting with a company that I didn’t get paystubs for often. It was helpful to have this app so I could accurately find out how much they should have been paying me.

5 months ago, MandyPamkin

Simple and Effective

What a great app. It calculates accurately what the net pay will be. I don’t worry about the cents; the dollar amounts are spot on. I love the simplicity and ease of use of the app and there are no ads or bothersome banners asking you always to upgrade. Thank you, Edwin!

6 months ago, Kiero😮‍💨

Great App

this app is great, it allows you to alter so many settings and it’s accurate to the dollar. i think it would be cool if they added an hours tracker as apart of the app so you could track your hours without an additional app. :)

Best app to get

Love the way it gives you a closer look of what your future pay checks could look like and gives the best out of everything you feel you need to get paid for great app 5 stars for me 👍

4 years ago, Riannon Tucker

Amazing app!

Honestly it helps if you don’t know how much taxes take out your check and is exact with the amount if you put the right information in. I Love this app and i highly recommend it to others wanting to see how much money they are receiving.

4 years ago, slwolfe1999

Love this!!

It’s quick and easy to use. After I entered all of my information, I was able to compare the number it gave me to my original paystub and the amount was accurate! I will be using this from now on to help budget money ahead of time.

1099 worker

I work as an 1099 worker and I've always wondered how much I should be putting back. I put back more than I should according to the app but at least it's enough. This app is very beneficial and anyone who works as a 1099 should get it.

3 years ago, Angelique88

Good app for people who’s hours vary

Not completely accurate about 40-70 under what I end up getting paid but has never told me my check will be more and it end up being less.

1 year ago, Little boy$

Very good

I’ve been using this app for some time now. And I will say it’s very, very helpful. I’ve been able to use this app and get the app and my actual paycheck within ten dollars difference. It’s got a A++++ in my book.

Excellent!

Finally somebody who cares more about the app and the customer than their pocket! I’m amazed at how simple this app is to use. Being that I’m on a 1099 this here helps me simply calculate taxes and deductions. Please don’t change this app! It’s excellent the way it is!

Description

We created Paycheck Calculator because we were constantly asking ourselves the following questions: How would my paycheck look like if... - I accepted a job with a yearly salary of X? - I received a raise of X dollars per hour? - I moved to X city? - I worked X hours of overtime this week? - I increased my 401k contribution by X percentage? - I received a commission of X dollars this week? And we wanted something simple that could be quickly pulled up on the phone, had a previous calculation saved, and computed the deductions as soon as I changed a single number. So basically the app is solving the problem of knowing how much money will one make after taxes. It does it by computing a few formulas given by the IRS based on the 2020 brackets, it also adds a few extra variables related to social security, medicare, and other federal deductions. Overtime is a common concept and most people want to know how would their paycheck work if they do a couple of hours a certain date, what happens if there is double-overtime, the app allows to add all those inputs in simple visible cards. In order to be even a little bit more accurate, the app contains a few additions to state taxes and they are automatically deducted after the user selects its location. Besides deducting federal, social security, medicare, and state taxes, the app has extra inputs to add customized deductions, for example, a 401k contribution, an HSA addition, child-care, between others. The deductions can be customized pre-tax or after-tax. Allowances are something that might be tricky and it's normally not widely known to be used to calculate the net income, we've added a small slider to input any number from 0 to more than 10 allowances. Finally, the app allows you to add any kind of extra income, pre-tax or after-tax, tips received, bonuses, commissions, the extra money that your boss gives you based on performance, you're able to tweak your whole income completely. All these inputs can be customized in a yearly or hourly setup, they can be calculated in different pay periods, like daily, bi-weekly, semimonthly, quarterly, yearly, etcetera, and all the numbers are quickly calculated at realtime in a single page layout. Do you know how much money will be there at the end of the week? Will you be able to order that extra queso tonight? Give it a try and figure it out yourself! DISCLAIMER: The application does not give legal tax advice, it's merely informative. All the calculations are done locally on the device based on brackets already loaded up and we have no way of looking of the information it's entered in the app.
