How is federal income tax calculated here?

We subtract your pre-tax deductions and the 2026 standard deduction, then apply the 2026 federal brackets for your filing status. Social Security is 6.2% up to the annual wage base and Medicare is 1.45% (plus 0.9% on high earnings).

Why might my real paycheck differ?

Employers withhold based on your W-4, and health insurance, other deductions, bonuses, and local taxes change the result. Your final tax bill is settled when you file your return.
