Paycheck Calculator: How to Calculate Your Net Pay After Taxes Your take-home pay is your gross income minus federal taxes, state taxes, Social Security, Medicare, and any deductions. For a $60,000 salary in a state with no income tax, you can expect roughly $47,000 in annual take-home pay, or about $1,808 per biweekly paycheck. When I landed my first $55,000 salaried position, I was shocked to see only $1,642 on my biweekly pay stub instead of the $2,115 I expected. It took me three pay cycles to fully understand where the missing $473 went -- $264 to federal taxes, $131 to FICA, and $78 to state income tax.
