Use "What If" Paycheck Calculator
Use the "What If" Paycheck Calculator in Employee Access Center (EAC) to simulate the calculation of your take home pay given specifics in pay rates, deductions, benefits, and taxes. The calculator allows you to input hourly or salaried pay amounts and make adjustments that affect your tax and deduction withholdings.
The calculation is intended to provide general guidance. Consider the result an estimate of your net pay rather than the actual amount that may appear on your paycheck.
