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 calculation reproduces the 2026 federal schedule with the standard deduction of that filing status, Social Security at 6.2% up to 184,500 USD, Medicare at 1.45% and the additional 0.9% above 200,000 USD, and the state schedule with its standard deduction, personal exemption and, where the state grants one, its personal credit. The state figure is always computed on the single-filer schedule, whatever the federal filing status. Local tax is carried by one rate and only for New York (3.876%) and Maryland (3.2%). The additional Medicare threshold is applied at 200,000 USD whatever the filing status, so a joint filer is over-charged. Outside this scenario: itemised deductions, pre-tax payroll deferrals such as 401(k) and health premiums, federal and state credits, city and county taxes elsewhere, and income other than salary.
