Educational estimate using annualized IRS brackets, not the exact percentage-method withholding tables your employer uses (which factor in your W-4's Step 3/4 entries) — expect your actual paycheck to differ by a small amount. Nonresident aliens on F-1/J-1/H-1B in their first years may also be exempt from Social Security and Medicare tax under the "student FICA exemption" or a tax treaty; this tool assumes full FICA liability.
