I built PayGauge because every "salary calculator" I found online was either years out of date, buried in ads, or only covered a couple of states. I wanted something simple: type in your salary or hourly rate, pick your state, and instantly see what actually lands in your bank account — no sign-up, no email wall, no guesswork. What it does: 🧮 Take-home pay calculator using 2026 federal + all 50 state tax brackets ⏱️ Hourly ↔ salary converter 📈 Raise / cost-of-living adjustment calculator 🏙️ City-to-city cost of living comparison, so you know what a salary is actually worth if you're considering a move It's 100% free, no account needed, and everything runs instantly as you type. Would love your feedback — especially if you spot a state where the numbers look off, or there's a calculator you wish existed that I haven't built yet. Thanks for checking it out! 🙏
