Is paychecknew.us safe?

This is the part worth reading twice. PaycheckNew does not recruit, does not hire, does not send cheques and does not run job adverts. It has no sales team and no support line. If someone messaged you a job offer, sent you a cheque to buy equipment, or asked you to log in somewhere and mentioned this site, they are not connected to it and you are being defrauded.

That scam is real and common: a counterfeit cheque clears into your account, you are asked to forward some of it on, and a week later the cheque bounces and the money you sent was yours. If it has already happened, tell your bank's fraud team today and report it at reportfraud.ftc.gov. None of that has anything to do with this calculator, and no amount of it would ever reach you through this site.

Your Social Security number

No field on this site asks for one, and no calculation here needs one. A take-home figure comes from a salary, a state and a filing status.

Bank or card details

Nothing here is for sale. There is no checkout, no subscription and no payment processor.

A username or password

There are no accounts. There is nothing to log in to, so there is nothing for anyone to phish.

A cheque, a transfer or a deposit

This site does not employ anyone, does not recruit and will never send you money or ask you to move any. Anyone doing that in its name is not connected to it.

Your employer's payroll login

This is a calculator, not a payroll system. It has no connection to any payroll provider and cannot access anyone's payroll.

• Check the address bar. The only site this is, is paychecknew.us. If you arrived somewhere that looks like this page on a different domain, that is not this site.

• Read the source. The code that produces every figure is public at github.com/Itsxhadi. A phishing site cannot show you its own source, because its source is the fraud.

• Check a number yourself. Every tax figure cites the IRS release or the state schedule it came from, on the page it appears on. Follow one to the government source and confirm it.

• Watch the network tab. Open your browser's developer tools and type a salary. Nothing is sent anywhere, because the calculation happens in your browser.

PaycheckNew is built and maintained by Hadi, developer and maintainer, reachable at [email protected]. It is not a payroll company and not a financial service. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by or connected to the IRS, the Social Security Administration, any state revenue department, or any payroll provider whose name may look similar. It covers all 51 US jurisdictions and it is free because it is a static website with no running costs worth charging for.

It is also new, launched in September 2026, and that is the honest reason a reputation checker may have nothing to say about it. A new domain has no history, and some automated systems treat an absence of history as a reason for suspicion. The remedy is the evidence on this page and the citation under every figure on the site, not a badge. What it does not do is ask you for anything, which is the only property that matters when the worry is fraud.

A wrong tax figure is treated as seriously here as a security report. Send it to the contact address with a link to the official source, and it gets fixed in the table and logged with before-and-after figures on the corrections page, which exists so that mistakes are public rather than quietly patched. The methodology page sets out where every number comes from and how it is tested.
