Hi Product Hunt! 👋
I built US Tax Calculator 2026 because I was frustrated with existing tax tools that were either too simple (missing state taxes and self-employment) or too complex (requiring account creation).
What started as a personal project grew into a bilingual tool covering all 50 states, IRS tax brackets, FICA, self-employment tax, and even capital gains. I added original tax guides and FAQ because I believe understanding your taxes shouldn't require a CPA degree.
Key features:
• All 50 state income taxes (not just federal!)
• Self-employment tax calculator for freelancers
• Quick vs Advanced modes
• Bilingual: English & 中文
• No signup required, completely free
I'd love your feedback! What tax scenarios should I add next? Retirement contributions? AMT? Let me know! 🙏
A "compare years" view would be super useful, like a side-by-side of 2025 vs 2026 tax projections so I can see how the new brackets and credits actually change my refund. Would help a lot when deciding whether to adjust withholding mid-year.
Finally a tax calculator that covers all 50 states in one place instead of hunting down separate tools. The bilingual toggle is a nice touch, and the breakdown of self-employment tax actually shows where the numbers come from.
One thing that would really help is letting users save scenarios to compare side by side, like a W-2 job vs full freelance income. That way I can see the tax impact before making a big decision about going self-employed, instead of running the numbers manually in two browser tabs.
love how the quick and advanced modes are split so cleanly, makes it easy to switch from a rough estimate to a full breakdown without losing my place.
Honestly pretty useful that it handles both federal and all 50 states in one place, and the self-employment tax breakdown actually shows me where the numbers come from.
Adding the ability to compare two tax years side by side would be really useful, especially for freelancers trying to decide whether to bunch deductions into 2026 or push them to 2027.
Switched over to Advanced mode and noticed the capital gains breakdown actually separates short-term vs long-term properly, which is something most free calculators get wrong. Genuinely useful for freelancers like me.
