## What is Take?

This app does not represent a government entity. Take-Home Pay US is a private estimate for one 2026 W-2 job in Texas, Florida, Washington, California, or New York. It is not a government app and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or acting for the Internal Revenue Service, the Social Security Administration, the California Franchise Tax Board, the California Employment Development Department, the New York State Department of Taxation and Finance, the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts, the Florida Department of Revenue, the Washington State Department of Revenue, or the WA Cares Fund.

Results are estimates only. Not a tax return, not a withholding table, and not tax advice. A filing status and an optional pre-tax 401(k) can be entered. Compare and a year-ahead view are in the yearly subscription inside the app.

Pages for each figure, and every government page linked in the app:
