PayClear is a free collection of US payroll and tax calculators — paycheck withholding, salary conversions, self-employment tax, 1099 tax, bonus tax, overtime, and contractor rates, plus state-specific calculators for California, Texas, New York, and more. Every calculation runs instantly in your browser. No sign-up, no account, no data stored — just enter your numbers and get a clear breakdown of where your money goes.

Hey everyone! 👋 I built PayClear because every time I tried to figure out my actual take-home pay, compare a job offer across states, or estimate quarterly taxes as a freelancer, the existing calculators were either buried in ads, painfully slow, or just not accurate enough to trust. So I built a focused set of free calculators that: - Run entirely in your browser — no sign-up, nothing stored - Cover the full picture: paycheck withholding, salary conversions, self-employment/1099 tax, bonus tax, overtime, and contractor rates - Include state-specific versions for California, Texas, New York, and more (with local tax quirks like NYC's add-on or California's SDI factored in) This is a solo side project I'm actively building out — more states and calculators are coming. Would love your feedback on what's missing or what could be clearer!

Hey everyone! I've been building PayClear, a collection of free US paycheck, salary, and tax calculators (paycheck withholding, self-employment tax, bonus tax, state-specific calculators, etc.) launching here on July 1st.

While building this, I realized how much confusion exists around simple things like:

- Why a bonus gets taxed differently than regular pay

- How self-employment tax actually works for freelancers
