Open Free Paycheck CalculatorYes. Our paycheck calculator is 100% free, requires no signup, and has no ads. PaycheckCity is also free for the basic calculator, but the page is heavier on ad units and is targeted at payroll admins rather than hourly workers.
Both calculators use the same 2026 IRS Pub 15-T federal withholding tables and state tax rates from the Tax Foundation. For straightforward W-2 income the numbers match within a dollar or two — any small differences come from rounding or how voluntary deductions are handled.
Yes. Our calculator has a tips toggle with default rates by role (server, bartender, barista, etc.) and treats tip income as taxable wages per IRS Publication 531. PaycheckCity's free calculator doesn't include tips by default — you have to enter them as a custom 'other earnings' field.
If you're a worker (not a payroll admin) you'll get a faster answer with less noise. The interface is built around the inputs hourly workers actually have (hourly rate, shifts/week, tips, state) instead of the inputs employers care about (pay period type, W-4 step 4 add-ons, etc.).
