Common questions

How is this different from the free calculator?

The free calculator tells you what your take-home pay is. A premium report tells you why it is that amount, whether your withholding is right, and specific changes that could put more money in your pocket.

Is this tax advice?

No. Reports are educational estimates based on the tax rules for your state and filing status. For filing decisions or complex situations, work with a CPA or tax professional — your report gives them a head start.

What do I get after I pay?

Instant access to your report in the browser, plus downloadable PDF, HTML, and JSON copies. You can also have it emailed to yourself.

Can I get a refund?

Yes — there is a 14-day money-back guarantee on all reports. Just email support and we will process it, no questions asked.
