Every 2026 paycheck deduction, in one place
The 2025 federal tax law (the One Big Beautiful Bill Act) created new deductions for tips, overtime pay, and seniors, raised the SALT cap, and launched a federal savings account for newborns. Most tools calculate one of these at a time. This site estimates all of them together, shows you exactly how each number was computed, and links every figure to the IRS source.
Estimates only — not tax advice. All calculations run in your browser; nothing is sent to a server.
What changed for tax years 2025–2028
- Tips: deduct up to $25,000 of qualified tips if your occupation is on the IRS list. Phases out above $150,000 MAGI ($300,000 joint).
- Overtime: deduct up to $12,500 ($25,000 joint) of the overtime premium — the extra half-time portion, not your full overtime pay.
- Seniors 65+: an extra $6,000 deduction per person, phasing out above $75,000 MAGI ($150,000 joint).
- SALT: the state and local tax cap rose from $10,000 to $40,400 for 2026, with a phase-down above $505,000 (statutory amount — not yet confirmed in IRS 2026 forms).
- Child savings: newborns 2025–2028 receive a one-time $1,000 federal deposit; families can add up to $5,000 a year.
The tips, overtime, and senior deductions are scheduled to expire after 2028 under current law.
The $40,400 cap and $505,000 phase-down threshold for 2026 are the amounts written into the statute (Internal Revenue Code §164(b)(6), as amended by Public Law 119-21). The IRS has not yet published its 2026 Schedule A instructions confirming them — we will update this page when it does.
