Frequently asked questions

Complete guide to Tax Refund Calculator

What is a tax refund calculator?

A tax refund calculator estimates whether you will get a refund or owe tax when you file, based on income, withholding, deductions, and credits. A refund often means you overpaid during the year; you can adjust withholding to get less refund and more take-home pay. Use it to plan for tax season and adjust W-4 or estimated payments.

Getting your withholding right

If you consistently get a large refund, consider increasing allowances (or reducing extra withholding) so you keep more money during the year. If you owe a lot at filing time, increase withholding or make estimated payments to avoid underpayment penalties. Use the IRS withholding estimator or this calculator to fine-tune.
