How it works
Paycheck calculations start with gross pay for the pay period. Required payroll withholding is then applied to estimate net pay. In Illinois, this includes federal income tax withholding under IRS rules, Illinois state income tax withholding at a flat rate, and FICA payroll taxes for Social Security and Medicare.
Examples
When gross pay changes between pay periods, withholding amounts can also change. Federal income tax withholding, Illinois state income tax withholding, and FICA are applied based on wages for each paycheck, which can result in different net pay amounts.
Limitations and important notes
This calculator provides an estimate of payroll withholding, not a final tax calculation. Actual paychecks may vary due to employer payroll systems, rounding practices, and timing of earnings. State-specific income tax and withholding rules applicable in Illinois may affect final take-home pay and are not fully captured by this estimate.
