How the estimate works
What affects a Colorado paycheck?
FICA payroll taxes
Employee Social Security tax applies up to the 2026 wage base. Medicare tax applies to all covered wages, with an additional Medicare estimate for high earners.
Colorado state tax
Colorado uses a flat 4.4% state income tax. This is a planning estimate, so actual withholding can differ based on local tax, credits, payroll settings, and employer benefit rules.
