Take-home pay in the United States (2026)
Your paycheck is your gross pay minus federal income tax, FICA (Social Security 6.2% up to $184,500 and Medicare 1.45%, plus 0.9% on wages above $200,000), any state and local income tax, and pre-tax deductions such as 401(k) contributions and health insurance.
Federal tax is charged in brackets on your taxable income, which is your salary minus the standard deduction of $16,100 (single), $32,200 (married filing jointly) or $24,150 (head of household) in 2026. Only the income inside each bracket is taxed at that bracket's rate.

In-hand salary in India (FY 2026-27)
Indian offers are usually quoted as cost to company (CTC). From the CTC, the employer's PF contribution and gratuity are taken out to get your gross salary; then your own PF (12% of basic), professional tax and income tax are deducted. Under the default new tax regime there is no tax on taxable income up to ₹12 lakh, which with the ₹75,000 standard deduction means a salary of up to ₹12.75 lakh is tax-free.
