## What is USTax?

USTax helps you estimate take-home pay and explore US federal income tax — privately, on your device. Your income and scenarios never leave your iPhone or iPad unless you choose to share a PDF.

FREE — always includes:
• Take-home calculator with FICA or self-employment tax and pre-tax 401(k), IRA, and HSA adjustments
• Federal brackets, marginal and effective rates, and an interactive bracket bar
• IRS tax tables for 2020–2025 with year-over-year comparison
• One supported state estimate on the Income tab (2025 rules)
• Two saved scenarios and on-device tax insights (Apple Intelligence when available; template insights otherwise)
• Home Screen widgets and Siri shortcuts for quick estimates
• Full Dynamic Type, VoiceOver, and iPad layout

PREMIUM (optional — prices shown in-app from the App Store):
• Unlimited saved scenarios and side-by-side comparison (up to four)
• PDF export of a calculation or comparison
• State ranking — compare take-home across supported states

Premium is available as a monthly or yearly subscription — the yearly plan includes a one-week free trial for new subscribers — or as a one-time Lifetime purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period; manage them in your Apple Account settings.

USTax is an educational planning tool, not tax filing software or professional advice. State figures cover selected 2025 states and omit local taxes, credits, and itemized deductions. Consult a qualified tax professional for your situation.
