Paycheck Compass

Description

Your salary is not what lands in your account. Paycheck Compass shows the difference at a glance: a brass compass dial splits every pay period into what you keep and where the rest goes, and a needle points to the share of your next extra dollar that tax and contributions will take.

Pick the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom or Australia, then your state, province or home nation. Type a salary or an hourly rate, choose how often you are paid, and the dial updates as you edit. Switch between weekly, every two weeks, twice a month, monthly and yearly views with one tap.

What-If Lab

Slide a raise, add a bonus, change your retirement contribution or try a different state or province. The lab shows the change per paycheck and per year, and how much of a bonus survives tax. Save the scenarios worth keeping.
