Colorado Withholding

Your employer withholds Colorado state income tax (flat rate, 4.40%) plus federal income tax, Social Security (6.2%), and Medicare (1.45%).

Why does my actual paycheck differ?

The calculator uses standard withholding tables. Your actual check may differ based on W-4 additional withholding, employer-specific benefit deductions, or local taxes not included here.

What is the difference between gross and net pay?

Gross pay is your total compensation before deductions. Net pay is what's deposited — after federal and Colorado state taxes are withheld.

How do pre-tax deductions help?

401(k), HSA, and health insurance contributions reduce taxable income, lowering both your federal and state tax. The savings equal your marginal tax rate × contribution amount.
