This tool provides an educational approximation of paycheck withholding only. It is not tax or legal advice, and it is not a tax return or refund calculation. It does not transmit or store any entries; all calculations happen in your browser. Figures reference the projected 2026 IRS Publication 15-T percentage-method tables. For the official calculation, use the IRS Tax Withholding Estimator. See IRS Publication 15-T (2026) for the underlying withholding methodology.
TRACK YOUR REFUND
Check the status of your federal or Arizona state refund directly through the official IRS and Arizona Department of Revenue tools.
