Tax & Deductions dashboard

Tax math you can defend to a CPA.

Tax tools either oversimplify into uselessness or hide the math behind a paywall. CalcBold's Tax & Deductions calculators do neither — every formula is the IRS one (federal brackets, FICA, SE tax, AMT) with the actual 2026 thresholds, and the result tells you not just the number but what to do about it. US is the launch focus; UK and India follow once we can publish equally defensible math for both.

Frequently Asked Questions

The most common questions we get about this calculator — each answer is kept under 60 words so you can scan.

  • Are these calculators a substitute for a CPA?
    No — they're a substitute for the back-of-envelope math you'd otherwise do yourself. The brackets, FICA constants, and SE tax math are the IRS ones, and the results are defensible to a tax professional. But they don't model AMT preference items beyond ISOs, multi-state allocations, foreign tax credits, or the dozens of niche credits the tax code includes. For anything high-stakes, run the calc here for a sanity check, then have a CPA confirm.
  • Which tax year do you use?
    US 2026 projected — based on IRS Rev. Proc. 2024-40 plus a ~2.5% inflation adjustment. The actual 2026 release lands in October 2025; until then, the projected values are within $50-100 of where the official numbers will land in most brackets. We refresh against the IRS release as soon as it's published. UK uses 2025/26 PAYE bands; India uses FY 2025-26 new-regime slabs.
  • How accurate is the state tax?
    We use a flat-rate approximation. Real state systems are progressive (CA, NY) or flat (PA, IL, NC) or zero (TX, FL, WA, NV, TN, SD, WY, NH on wages). For most workers a flat-rate approximation is within 1-2 percentage points of the actual state tax. For high earners in CA / NY, the real rate is higher than the flat approximation by 1-3 percentage points at the top.
  • Do you store any of my tax inputs?
    No. All math runs in your browser. The only outbound call is to our AI proxy to generate the insight paragraph, and that request is not logged or persisted. There are no accounts, no tax-prep history, no third-party trackers inside the tax calculators.
