What the calculation reproduces, what it does not model

This report covers a United States federal return for the filing status selected, combined with the tax of the state selected: the 2026 federal schedule with that status's standard deduction, FICA, and the state schedule with its own deductions and, where the state grants one, its credit. The state figure is always computed on the single-filer schedule. Local tax is carried by one rate and only for New York and Maryland. Outside this scenario: itemised deductions, pre-tax payroll deferrals, credits, city taxes elsewhere, and income other than salary.
