# About Takehome Cash

Takehome Cash is a free, static website that estimates US W-2 take-home pay for tax year 2026. One calculator and a unique page for every state plus the District of Columbia.

There is no account, no database, and no advertising code in this version. The tax math runs in your browser. Numbers are estimates, not a filing product.
