Quick-reference rates are informational summaries, not payroll instructions. Use the linked state tax authority and current official guidance for the applicable tax year and facts.

State income tax isn't
one-size-fits-all.

Each state has its own withholding tables, filing thresholds, and local tax rules. Our engine uses official-source data for all 50 states — not flat estimates. Select your state to see what applies to you.

Official withholding tables

The calculation paths use published federal and state withholding methods where supported, with state-specific coverage and explicit limitations rather than one generic nationwide estimate.

9 no-income-tax states

Alaska, Florida, Nevada, New Hampshire, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Washington, and Wyoming have no state income tax. Our engine automatically applies $0 withholding for these states.

Local taxes where applicable

New York City and Yonkers residents face additional local income tax on top of state withholding. Ohio workers may owe municipal income tax. We account for these where data is available.

Source-linked tax references

State tax rates, brackets, and withholding formulas can change. Use the source-linked state guidance and current official instructions to verify any estimate before relying on it for payroll or filing decisions.

Your employer doesn't
withhold for you.

Contractors, platform workers, and self-employed professionals may have different withholding and estimated-tax obligations from employees. Keep platform statements, bank records, tax forms, invoices, and other primary records organized; a user-created earnings record can supplement those records but does not independently verify income.

Rental Applications

If a landlord or other reviewer requests income documentation, follow the recipient’s requirements. Independent evidence such as tax returns, bank statements, employer records, contracts, or platform statements may be required; a LeoFolio earnings record is supplementary and based on information you provide.

Loan & Mortgage Pre-Approval

Some lenders request a consistent income history and may ask for payroll records, bank statements, tax documents, or other evidence. A detailed earnings statement can organize gross pay, deductions, and net pay, but the recipient decides what documentation it accepts.

Quarterly Tax Estimation

Self-employed workers must pay estimated taxes quarterly. Running your earnings through our state-aware engine gives you a clear picture of your federal + state withholding obligations before deadlines arrive.

Personal Recordkeeping

Track your income period-by-period with professional-format records. YTD totals, deduction history, and net pay calculations — the same level of documentation a W-2 employee receives automatically, built for you.

How our 50-state
tax engine works.

Most paystub generators apply a flat percentage. We don't. Here's what actually happens when you select your state.

Step 1 — Gross pay

We calculate your gross pay from your inputs: regular hours × rate, plus overtime (at your chosen multiplier), holiday pay, bonus, and commission.

Step 2 — Pre-tax deductions

401(k), health insurance, FSA, and commuter benefits reduce your taxable income before withholding is calculated — just like your employer's payroll system does.

Step 3 — Federal withholding

Federal withholding shown by LeoFolio is an estimate for recordkeeping. Before relying on any tax amount, compare it with the current IRS withholding instructions, the worker's elections, pay frequency, taxable wages, credits, and any additional withholding.

Step 4 — State withholding

State withholding estimates vary by jurisdiction and by the information entered. Use the linked state tax authority and current withholding instructions to verify rates, brackets, exemptions, local taxes, and other rules that may apply.

Step 5 — FICA

FICA estimates depend on the applicable tax year, taxable wage definitions, year-to-date wages, and statutory thresholds. Verify Social Security and Medicare amounts against current IRS and Social Security Administration guidance before relying on them.

Step 6 — Net pay & YTD

Net pay = gross − all taxes − post-tax deductions. YTD totals are projected from your current pay period number, showing cumulative gross, taxes, and deductions for the year to date.

Tax calculations are estimates for document formatting and recordkeeping purposes only. Consult a licensed tax professional for filing guidance.

State tax questions? Check.

How does the engine know my state tax rate?
You select your state in Step 3 (Worker Information) of the generator. Our engine applies state-aware estimate logic based on the state you select, including zero state income tax for no-tax states and state-level estimate fields where applicable. These estimates are for document formatting and recordkeeping, not tax filing advice.
My state has no income tax — what shows on my document?
For the 9 no-income-tax states (Alaska, Florida, Nevada, New Hampshire, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Washington, Wyoming), the State Income Tax line shows $0.00 on both the current period and YTD columns. Federal withholding and FICA still apply normally.
Are these calculations exact or estimates?
They are estimates for document formatting and personal recordkeeping. Individual situations, multiple jobs, deductions, credits, and local rules can affect your actual tax liability. Consult a tax professional for exact filing obligations.
Can I use this for states I don't live in?
Yes — you can generate a document for any state. Some gig workers and remote contractors earn income in states where they don't reside. You can enter any state for withholding purposes. Note that multi-state tax situations can be complex — consult a tax professional if you earn income across multiple states.
What about city or local income taxes?
NYC and Yonkers local income taxes are included for New York state filers. Ohio's municipal tax system varies by city; we apply state-level withholding only and note this on the document. Pennsylvania local taxes (EIT) are not currently included. Check your state page for details on what's covered.
Is this the same document regardless of state?
The document format is consistent, while the state selection can affect state-related estimate fields and how the employee information appears. Your state selection also appears on the document in the employee information section.
