What's Deducted From Your Paycheck
Typical US paycheck deductions include federal income tax (based on W-4 withholding), FICA (Social Security 6.2% + Medicare 1.45%), state and local income tax, plus voluntary items like 401(k), health insurance, and HSA contributions.
Net pay = gross pay minus all deductions. Pre-tax 401(k) contributions reduce taxable income; Roth contributions do not.
Estimates based on simplified withholding rules. Actual pay depends on W-4, benefits, and local taxes. Not tax advice.
