Easy-to-Use Tax Withholding Calculator

Most Americans have too much taken from their pay checks each year. Why let the IRS hold your money interest-free? If you received or will receive a refund this year, use our calculator to see how much you can add to your paycheck...starting next pay day.

NOTE: This calculator is based on your most recent tax return and assumes your financial situation is similar to what it was in the previous tax year. Any significant changes -- in what you’re paid, for example, or your family size -- could throw things off. Be sure to read the full story on how to adjust your withholding.
