Caveat: the North Carolina rate is from NCDOR, but the $12,750 deduction comes from the statute text, not an NCDOR deduction page.

Read this before you use the take-home figure. It is a single-filer estimate using the 2026 standard deduction. It leaves out credits, other deductions, local taxes, and retirement or health deductions. Your actual paycheck can differ, and for states without a verified 2026 table in this build, state tax is still to be added once its table is verified.
