So I decided to give it a try. I took my last paycheck and wrote my gross pay and fill out the rest ( single , married thing ) bla bla....then I pressed calculate the result was the same as my paycheck. That great I start calculating my future so I can budget easily that why I bought the pay version because no ads and you can create a profile ( this one you can't ).
