Open the toolHow our tools work
- Verified figures. Brackets, standard deductions and the SALT cap come from IRS.gov; each tool page lists them and the source.
- Private by design. Calculations happen on your device. We do not collect, send or store the numbers you enter.
- Estimates, not advice. Each tool says what it leaves out. Always verify current-year figures and consider a qualified professional for your situation.
