Calculate taxes

Calculate household employer taxes for a single pay period. Returns employer taxes, employee tax estimates, per-paycheck cost, and threshold status.

Note: Free-tier calculations assume zero year-to-date wages. Mid-year, this may overstate Social Security (caps at $176,100 wage base) and FUTA (caps at $7,000/employee). For accurate ongoing calculations, upgrade to a paid plan with automatic YTD tracking.
