Every two weeks your $2,000.00 California paycheck leaves $1,615.79 in take-home pay after $384.21 of taxes.
California withholds $49.06 of personal income tax ($1,275.48 for the year under annualized Method B with 1 regular allowance, divided by 26) and $26.00 of SDI at 1.3%.
Under annualized Method B, $1,000 more of yearly wages adds $66.00 to your California income tax for the year.
Across 26 equal paychecks, you take home $42,010.54 for the year after $1,275.56 of California income tax and $676.00 of SDI, $0.08 above the schedule's $1,275.48 annual tax from per-paycheck rounding.
Your pay and your forms
- $2,000.00 × 26 = $52,000.00 of annualized wages (Table 1 limit $18,896)
- $52,000.00 − $5,706 Table 3 standard deduction = $46,294.00 taxable
- ($46,294.00 − $41,452) × 6.600% + $1,124.21 = $1,443.78 annual computed tax
- $1,443.78 − 1 × $168.30 ($168.30 Table 4 credit) = $1,275.48 for the year
- $1,275.48 ÷ 26 = $49.06

California's three Method B and DE 4 options
| Method or certificate | Per paycheck | The year | When it applies |
|---|---|---|---|
| Method B, annualized (1 regular allowance) (yours) | $49.06 | $1,275.56 | Any wages (computer schedule) |

How California paycheck withholding is calculated
California employers figure state tax with Method B of the schedules for the pay date's year. On page 4 of the schedule, the EDD notes that "Employers may determine the amount of income tax to be withheld for an annual payroll period and prorate the tax back to the payroll period." Step 1 turns one paycheck into a year ($2,000.00 × 26 = $52,000.00) and checks Table 1. Wages at or below $18,896 in 2026, or $19,528 in 2027 ($37,791 and $39,056 for Head of Household and Married with 2 or more allowances), have no state income tax taken.
Above Table 1, Step 2 takes off $1,000 for each estimated deduction allowance on Form DE 4 line 1b. Step 3 takes off the Table 3 standard deduction ($5,706 in 2026, $5,900 in 2027, or $11,412 and $11,800 for the higher column). On the default pay, that leaves $46,294.00. Step 4 looks up the tax in Table 5: $1,124.21 plus 6.600% of the $4,842.00 over $41,452 gives $1,443.78. Step 5 subtracts $168.30 per regular allowance on line 1a ($173.80 in 2027), leaving $1,275.48 a year, or $49.06 a paycheck.
Your pay stub also shows State Disability Insurance (SDI). The EDD's rates page posts "The SDI withholding rate for 2027 is 1.4 percent." For 2026 it states that "The SDI withholding rate for 2026 is 1.3 percent." It also notes that "Effective January 1, 2024, Senate Bill 951 removes the taxable wage limit and maximum withholdings for each employee subject to SDI contributions." Every paycheck at $2,000.00 pays $28.00 of SDI on a 2027 pay date and $26.00 on a 2026 one, or $728.00 and $676.00 for the year.
Federal tax follows Worksheet 1A of IRS Publication 15-T for 2026 ($156.15 on the default pay). Social Security takes 6.2% ($124.00) up to $184,500 for the year, and Medicare takes 1.45% ($29.00). Above $200,000, Publication 15 states that "you must withhold a 0.9% Additional Medicare Tax from wages you pay to an employee in excess of $200,000 in a calendar year."
The low-income cliff and the married two-allowance jump
Step 1 is an all-or-nothing check against Table 1, while Step 3 takes off a smaller deduction in Table 3. For a single filer with no allowances, yearly wages up to $18,896 owe nothing. One cent more ($18,896.01) taxes all $13,190.01 above the deduction, for $168.31 a year. One regular allowance on line 1a covers that gap with its credit, so tax starts at $18,896.01 with $0.01 for the year. The 2027 tables lift both marks: no tax through $19,528, and one allowance holds the first taxed wage to $19,528.05.
For Married (one income), your total DE 4 allowances pick the column in Tables 1 and 3. Zero or 1 allowance uses the single thresholds, while 2 or more doubles them. At $36,400 a year ($1,400.00 every two weeks), a married worker with 1 allowance pays $10.12 a paycheck, or $263.12 a year. With 2 allowances, $36,400 sits below the higher Table 1 limit and owes $0.00.
Regular allowances (line 1a) versus estimated deductions (line 1b)
Form DE 4 splits allowances between line 1a and line 1b. Regular allowances on line 1a come from Worksheet A for yourself, your spouse and dependents. Each one takes a flat credit off the year's tax in Step 5 ($6.47 per biweekly check in 2026, $6.68 in 2027), whatever your bracket.
Estimated deduction allowances on line 1b come from Worksheet B for itemized deductions or child care credits. Each one takes $1,000 off your yearly wages in Step 2. Footnote 1 of Method B says: "If the employee uses additional allowances claimed for estimated deductions, such allowances must not be used in the determination of tax credits to be subtracted." On the default pay, 1 allowance on line 1b saves $66.00 a year, cutting the state line by $2.54 a check to $46.52.
Pre-tax plans, cafeteria benefits and Health Savings Accounts
Not every pre-tax deduction lowers the same boxes on a California stub. A retirement deferral lowers federal box 1 and state box 16, yet it still pays Social Security, Medicare and SDI. Qualifying cafeteria health, dental, vision and FSA premiums escape federal tax, FICA, state income tax and SDI alike.
Health Savings Accounts (HSAs) work differently in this state. Information Sheet DE 231TP lists "Contributions to an HSA under IRC Section 125 cafeteria plan" as taxed for state income tax. Still, HSA deposits are free of SDI. On the default $2,000.00 check, putting $100.00 into a 401(k) drops net pay by $81.40 to $1,534.39. Putting $100.00 into health premiums drops net pay by $72.45 to $1,543.34, saving $8.95 more.

Read the transcript
What California takes out
0:00 How much does California take out of your paycheck?
0:03 Paid $52,000 a year, every other week, California takes about $49 of state income tax from each check.
0:12 For the year it comes to about $1,275.
0:16 Your own check will show different numbers because your pay and your forms change them.
0:21 Federal tax, Social Security and Medicare also come out of that check.
0:25 The federal tax alone takes more than California does.
0:29 California SDI takes $26 of it, and about $1,600 of the check reaches your pocket.
0:35 Your SDI deduction pays for disability insurance and paid family leave.
0:40 The cards show the check's main lines.
0:43 The state line is the one your Form DE 4 changes.
Inside Method B
0:47 One paycheck becomes a year of pay, taxed by a schedule of tables.
0:52 After the low-income check and any estimated deduction allowance, it takes off the standard deduction and leaves $46,294 of wages to tax, finds that taxable amount in the tax rate table, and subtracts a flat credit for each allowance.
1:08 What remains is the year's tax.
1:10 Your employer may split it over your paychecks.
1:13 Under the EDD's Method B schedule, employers may prorate a year of tax across the pay periods.
1:19 That is the default.
1:21 $18,000 a year is under the low-income limit, so no state income tax is taken.
1:28 At $52,000 a year, the tax comes out of each check here.
What Form DE 4 changes
1:32 Each regular allowance on Form DE 4 takes a flat credit off the year's tax.
1:38 Here, one allowance is worth about $6 on every check.
1:42 With no allowance, California takes more from each check.
1:46 Type another allowance into the form, and California's line falls at once while your take-home pay goes up.
1:52 The remaining lines stay put on the cards.
1:55 An estimated deduction allowance on the same form works differently.
1:59 A set amount comes off yearly wages before the tax is worked out.
2:04 Claim both and the tax falls again.
2:06 The exempt option on Form DE 4 stops California income tax altogether.
2:12 California SDI is a separate deduction, not part of Form DE 4.
2:17 It is still withheld at the same rate.
What more pay costs
2:21 The chart on this page draws what another $1,000 of yearly wages adds to your California tax.
2:27 It shows what each step up the scale costs.
2:30 At a salary of $52,000, it adds $66.
2:35 The flat runs are the brackets.
2:37 Higher up the scale, the method's rates step up as your earnings rise.
2:42 Each step of yearly wages costs more once you cross into a higher bracket.
A year of paychecks
2:47 On a high salary, your paychecks change partway through the year.
2:51 Social Security stops at its wage base, but California's SDI has no cap, so it keeps coming out after that.
2:58 The first paycheck with no Social Security in it takes home about $5,700.
3:04 That take-home is the year's high point.
3:07 California's SDI comes out of that check in full.
3:10 From the check after it, an extra Medicare line takes more.
Check your own pay
3:15 The page holds your pay details and your forms.
3:18 Type your salary, and say you earn $60,000 a year, paid every other week.
3:23 Every figure follows at once.
3:25 California now takes about $69 a paycheck, and about $1,800 of it reaches your pocket.
3:33 Each card agrees with the updated pay.
3:35 Under Method B, your employer may work out an annual tax, then split it over your paychecks.
3:41 Your Form DE 4 changes it too.
3:44 The page holds each line and the entire year.
3:47 Check them against your own pay stub.

The California withholding formulas, 2026 and 2027
annualized wages = (gross − 401(k) − qualifying section 125) × pay periods Step 1 (Table 1): CA PIT = $0 when annualized wages ≤ $18,896 in 2026 or $19,528 in 2027 ($37,791 or $39,056 for Head of Household or Married with 2+ allowances) Steps 2 & 3: CA taxable = annualized wages − $1,000 × estimated allowances (Table 2) − $5,706 in 2026 or $5,900 in 2027 ($11,412 or $11,800 HOH or Married 2+, Table 3) Steps 4 & 5: annual CA tax = max(0, Table 5/6/7 tax (1.100% to 14.630%) − $168.30 in 2026 or $173.80 in 2027 × regular allowances (Table 4)) CA PIT per paycheck = annual CA tax ÷ pay periods (rounded half up to the cent) + DE 4 line 2 extra CA SDI per paycheck = 1.3% in 2026 or 1.4% in 2027 × (gross − qualifying section 125), no wage limit (SB 951) federal = IRS Pub. 15-T (2026) Worksheet 1A; Social Security = 6.2% up to $184,500; Medicare = 1.45% (+ 0.9% over $200,000) take-home pay = gross − pre-tax deductions − CA PIT − CA SDI − federal − Social Security − Medicare
Worked California examples
EDD Example B (biweekly pay-period table). A married worker is paid $1,600.00 every two weeks and claims 2 regular allowances and 1 estimated deduction allowance. Three total allowances put the check in the higher column. Pay is above the $1,454 Table 1 limit. Taking off $38.00 from Table 2 and $439.00 from Table 3 leaves $1,123.00 of taxable pay. In Table 27, $9.37 plus 2.200% of the $271.00 over $852 gives $15.33. Taking off the $12.95 Table 4 credit for 2 regular allowances leaves $2.38 of state income tax. The 2027 schedules print the same example with their Table 27: $9.68 plus 2.200% of the $228.00 over $880 gives $14.70, and the $13.37 credit leaves $1.33.
EDD Example E (annualized Method B). A married worker is paid $2,400.00 twice a month and claims 4 regular allowances. Over 24 pay periods, yearly pay is $57,600.00. Subtracting the $11,412 Table 3 deduction leaves $46,188.00 of taxable pay. In Table 6, $243.74 plus 2.200% of the $24,030.00 over $22,158 gives $772.40. Four regular allowances subtract $673.20, leaving $99.20 for the year, or $4.13 per paycheck. The 2027 schedules take $252.03 plus 2.200% of the $22,888.00 over $22,912, or $755.57 for the year; the same allowances leave $2.52 a paycheck.
Match your pay stub, Form DE 4 and Form W-2
Check which schedule your payroll system uses. On the default $2,000.00 check, annualized Method B and the biweekly Table 26 both give $49.06. An employer using the $1,890 to $2,100 row of EDD's Method A wage bracket table takes $48.74, which is $0.32 less. On a 2027 pay date the same check moves to the $1,920 to $2,130 row, which takes $47.92 against Method B's $46.25. You can switch the method field above to compare the pay-period table on your own pay.
If you do not give your employer a DE 4, the 2026 Employer's Guide (DE 44) says that "If an employee fails to give you a properly completed DE 4, you must withhold state income taxes from the employee’s wages as if the employee were single and claiming no withholding allowances." On the default check, zero allowances take $55.53, or $6.47 more each time. Line 3 of Form DE 4 stops state income tax if you owed no federal or state tax last year and expect none this year. Form DE 4 notes that "The Employee’s Withholding Allowance Certificate (DE 4) is for California Personal Income Tax (PIT) withholding purposes only," so SDI still applies.
At year-end your stub totals fill Form W-2. For box 1, the IRS instructions state: "do not include elective deferrals (such as employee contributions to a section 401(k) or 403(b) plan)". Boxes 3 and 5 still include them. On boxes 15 to 20, the IRS instructions state: "Use these boxes to report state and local income tax information." State wages go in box 16, state income tax in box 17, and SDI in box 14.
When your California pay works differently
Bonuses, stock options, commissions and overtime
California has two flat rates for extra pay paid on its own. The DE 44 guide tells employers to "Withhold the percentage below on the following types of supplemental wages without allowing for any withholding allowances claimed by the employee:" 10.23% on bonuses and stock options, and 6.6% on overtime, commissions, sales awards, severance and vacation pay. For federal tax, Publication 15 lets employers "Withhold a flat 22% (no other percentage allowed)." On a $1,000 bonus below the wage base, state tax is $102.30, SDI is $13.00 in 2026 ($14.00 in 2027), federal tax is $220.00, Social Security is $62.00 and Medicare is $14.50, leaving $588.20 (or $624.50 on a commission). The bonus tax calculator tests other amounts.
Dual-income married couples and working two jobs
Method B's cover page warns married workers when both spouses earn pay: "To avoid underwithholding of state income tax liability, we recommend that you use one of the following options: Single filing status to compute withholding amounts for the employee and spouse; or withhold an additional flat amount of tax." That is why box 1 on Form DE 4 reads "Single or Married (with two or more incomes)." At $52,000 with 1 allowance, Married (one income) takes $23.32 a check, saving $669.24 a year when only one spouse works. On the federal W-4, checking Step 2 raises federal tax to $270.19; try other setups in the federal paycheck calculator.
Nonresidents working partly in California and military spouses
Residents owe tax on all wages wherever earned. For a nonresident who works both inside and outside the state, the DE 44 guide says: "Only the wages earned in California are subject to California PIT withholding." The employer taxes the share of working days spent in California. With 8 of 20 days in the state, $800.00 of a $2,000.00 check is taxed here, giving $1.61 of state income tax. Qualifying military spouses can check line 4 of Form DE 4 to exempt their pay.
What your California SDI deduction pays for
In 2026, California withholds 1.3 percent for SDI. Your SDI deduction funds two state pay plans run by the EDD. Disability Insurance pays for up to 52 weeks when an illness, injury or pregnancy outside work stops you from working. Paid Family Leave pays for up to 8 weeks to bond with a new child or care for a sick family member. In 2026, weekly checks replace 70% to 90% of base pay, up to $1,765 a week. Check your weekly check in the California SDI and Paid Family Leave calculator or see job-loss pay in the California unemployment benefits calculator.
High pay: the Social Security cap and uncapped SDI
Publication 15 states that "The social security wage base limit is $184,500." On a $208,000 salary ($8,000.00 every two weeks), your pay hits that cap in paycheck 24. Paycheck 25 drops Social Security and takes home $5,654.51 instead of $5,158.51. Additional Medicare starts in paycheck 26. On the return, IRS Topic no. 560 sets "$250,000 for married filing jointly." Unlike Social Security, SDI takes $104.00 on every check ($2,704.00 for the year).
Assumptions and limits
- State income tax uses the EDD Method B schedules for your pay date's year: 2026 or 2027. It defaults to the annual payroll period formula and lets you switch to the pay-period tables or line 3 exemption.
- The year column adds up a full year of equal paychecks in the pay date's year from January 1. Social Security stops at the wage base while SDI runs on all pay.
- SDI takes 1.3% of SDI wages on 2026 pay dates and 1.4% on 2027 ones. Federal withholding and Social Security and Medicare follow the 2026 publications on this page.
- For Married (one income), total allowances on lines 1a and 1b choose between the lower and higher columns in Tables 1 and 3, matching EDD Example B.
- Cafeteria plan amounts entered here are treated as qualifying health, dental, vision or FSA deductions. Do not enter HSA deposits there, because California taxes them.
- Method B tax rates are 1.1 times the brackets on the state return, so paycheck withholding is built to run slightly above your return's rate.
- San Francisco's payroll expense tax falls on employers, not workers. Local taxes and after-tax deductions are not included.
- This page takes a yearly salary from $10 to $100,000,000, a paycheck up to $10,000,000 and up to 99 allowances.
These figures are estimates for learning and planning, not financial, tax, legal or investment advice. Terms of use.
What to do with your result
Hold your pay stub against the two state lines above. A gap of a few cents points to the pay-period table or Method A. A jump of $6.47 on a 2026 biweekly check ($6.68 in 2027) means your employer has no DE 4 on file and uses zero allowances. Check the federal line in the federal paycheck calculator. The IRS Tax Withholding Estimator page says "Check your withholding every January to make sure it’s correct for the year."
If you itemize deductions or claim child care credits, fill out Worksheet B of Form DE 4 for line 1b. On the default pay, one line 1b allowance keeps $66.04 more in your paychecks over the year. Check what you will owe on your return in the California income tax calculator.
Put health, dental and vision premiums through your cafeteria plan before raising retirement deferrals. On the default salary, $2,600.00 a year of health premiums keeps $232.70 more in annual take-home pay than the same deferral in a retirement plan. Project what your retirement savings grow to in the 401(k) calculator.
When you weigh a raise or job offer, look at the marginal chart above. At $52,000, the next $1,000 of yearly pay loses $66.00 to state income tax plus SDI at 1.3% in 2026 and 1.4% in 2027. Run the full raise through the pay raise calculator.
California paycheck questions
How much is $60,000 a year after taxes in California?
Paid every two weeks as a single filer with 1 allowance, $60,000 is a $2,307.69 paycheck. State income tax takes $69.36, SDI takes $30.00, federal tax takes $193.08 and FICA takes $176.54. You take home $1,838.71 a check, or $47,806.46 a year. Compare other states in the salary calculator.
How much is $100,000 a year after taxes in California?

Why do Method B withholding rates run up to 14.63%?
Method B multiplies each bracket rate on the state return by 1.1. The 1% bottom bracket becomes 1.100%, the 9.3% bracket becomes 10.230%, and the 13.3% rate over $1,000,000 becomes 14.630%. That 10% buffer helps keep workers from owing tax in April.

Why is my pay stub 2 cents off from the annual formula?
