2026 tax year
Sources and verification dates
Last updated: October 8, 2026
A paycheck estimate is only as good as the brackets behind it. This page lists, for every state and city Takehome covers, the day its figures were last checked and exactly what they were checked against.
How a figure gets published
- It comes from the body that sets it. State brackets, deductions and credits are read from the state's department of revenue or from the statute itself; federal figures from the IRS; the Social Security wage base from the Social Security Administration.
- It is checked against a second source. If the two disagree, the state is not published until the difference is explained.
- Control figures are locked in tests. Tax amounts worked out by hand from the source are written into the site's automated tests, so a later change to the code cannot move them unnoticed.
- The date only moves when the check is repeated. An older date below means nobody has re-read that source since, not that the page was edited.
Where a state has not published its 2026 figures yet, the page uses the latest year it has published and says so. The arithmetic itself is explained step by step in How it works, and who is behind the site in About.
