W-4 Withholding Visualizer

Understand how your W-4 entries affect your paycheck.

Disclaimer: Not Tax Advice

This is an educational tool, not financial or tax advice. The calculations are simplified estimates to help you visualize how the W-4 form works. For accurate tax planning, please consult a qualified tax professional.

Step 1: Filing Status

Your filing status is the single biggest factor in determining your standard deduction and tax brackets.

Single or Married filing separately Married filing jointly (or Qualifying Widow(er)) Head of Household

Step 2: Multiple Jobs

Check if you hold more than one job OR your spouse works.

Checking this box tells your employer's system to withhold more tax. This is the most common way to prevent owing a large amount at the end of the year for two-income households.

Step 3: Claim Dependents

Claiming dependents will decrease your withholding, giving you more in each paycheck. (Applies if your income is $200k or less, or $400k if married).

Qualifying Children (under 17)

Other Dependents

Step 4: Other Adjustments

4(a) Other Income (Annual)

Income from interest, dividends, or retirement. This will increase your withholding.

4(b) Deductions (Annual)

Itemized deductions (e.g., state taxes, mortgage interest) beyond your standard deduction. This will decrease your withholding.

4(c) Extra Withholding (Per Paycheck)

Any extra amount you want withheld from each paycheck. This will increase your withholding.
