Caveat: the Kentucky form was retrieved via a reproduction, not directly from revenue.ky.gov.

Kentucky city and county occupational taxes are separate and are not in this figure.

Read this before you use the take-home figure. It is a single-filer estimate using the 2026 standard deduction. It leaves out credits, other deductions, local taxes, and retirement or health deductions. Your actual paycheck can differ, and for states without a verified 2026 table in this build, state tax is still to be added once its table is verified.
