Free paycheck widget & badge
Add a live 2026 take-home pay calculator to your website, blog or HR portal in under a minute — or show your readers that your salary figures are backed by verified data. Both are free. The only condition: keep the credit link to StateTakeHome.com intact (that's how we fund the free data). Numbers come from the same engine as the site: IRS 2026 brackets, FICA, and all 51 state Department of Revenue rules — methodology.
