Minimum Wage in the US


The federal minimum wage in the US is $7.25 per hour, which amounts to $15,080 annually for full-time employment at 40 hours per week. However, each state sets its own minimum wage, and many have rates higher than the federal standard.

Some states adjust their minimum wage each year based on inflation, while others have different rates depending on the size of the employer or industry. The table below lists the minimum wage in each state, including the after-tax figures calculated based on the resulting annual salary for a full-time worker.

How Is Salary Calculated and Paid in the US?


Most employers deduct approximate payroll and income taxes from employee paychecks. Payroll taxes include contributions to Social Security and Medicare, while income tax is withheld according to the W-4 form supplied by the employee. For the 2025 tax year, you must file a return if you're single and earning more than $15,000, or married and jointly filing more than $30,000.

In other words, the Internal Revenue System (IRS), which is the tax authority in the United States, has a pretty good idea about what you owe in taxes. But, come tax day, you still have to file a return, factoring in personal circumstances and claiming deductions. Then, the IRS decides if they've withheld too much of your income in tax, earning a refund, or too little, requiring additional payments.

Taxes Included in This Salary Calculator


  • Federal Income Tax is collected by the federal government and must be paid no matter where you live in the United States. As a progressive tax, individuals with higher incomes can expect to pay higher tax rates. Tax rates are organized in seven brackets ranging from 10% to 37%.
  • State Tax is collected by state governments and is paid in addition to federal tax. There's no universal method for state tax — each state chooses its own rates. As such, state tax can be calculated according to a progressive rate, flat rate, or simply not collected at all.
  • Social Security Tax is paid through payroll taxes to support retirement benefits, benefits for widows and widowers, and disability benefits.
  • Medicare Tax is paid through payroll taxes to provide health insurance to people who are 64 years or older, anyone with disabilities, or anyone with terminal diseases.
