About US Salary Tools
US Salary Tools exists to answer a simple question, quickly and honestly: what does this pay actually work out to?
Why we built this
Pay comes in a lot of shapes — an annual salary, an hourly rate, a job offer with overtime, a raise negotiation, a paycheck full of deductions you didn't expect. Comparing them in your head is hard, and most calculators online are cluttered with ads, require sign-ups, or hide their math. We wanted something faster and more transparent: enter your numbers, see the breakdown, done.
What we believe
Transparency. Every formula this site uses is published in full on our Methodology page — nothing is a black box.
Privacy. There's no login, no account, and no server-side database. Every calculation runs locally in your browser; we never see the numbers you type.
Honesty about limits. Our Paycheck Calculator, in particular, is a simplified estimator, not a payroll system. We say so clearly, everywhere it appears.
Who it's for
Employees comparing job offers, hourly workers estimating a monthly budget, freelancers pricing their time, managers planning raises, and anyone who just wants to know what a number on a page really means for their bank account.
Independence
US Salary Tools is an independently run resource. We are not affiliated with the IRS, the Social Security Administration, or any government agency, and nothing here should be treated as official guidance — see our Disclaimer for the full picture.
