What this estimate leaves out
Every estimate assumes one earner with wages only, the 2026 standard deduction, and no tax credits. It leaves out the new federal deductions for tips, overtime and seniors, the child tax credit, itemized deductions, and pre-tax health insurance. For New Jersey, it also doesn't include New Jersey's employee unemployment and workforce contributions (well under 0.5% of wages up to the wage base) and NJ tax credits. Your actual paycheck withholding can differ from your final tax bill.
