Data & Accuracy
Our tax calculations use 2026 federal income tax brackets for single filers with the standard deduction. We include Social Security (6.2%) and Medicare (1.45%) estimates. State and local taxes are not included, as they vary significantly. Our cost-of-living data is sourced from publicly available rental and economic data.
All calculations are estimates and should not be considered financial advice. Please consult a tax professional for your specific situation.
