Corrections

If a figure here is wrong, I want to know, and I would much rather fix it than defend it.

How to report one

Message @phillips9320 on X, or email contact@calculatordad.com. Tell me the page and the figure you think is wrong. A link to the state document saying otherwise makes it much faster, but is not required — I will go and look either way.

What happens next

  • I check the figure against the state's own revenue department.
  • If you are right, the page is corrected and the change is noted on it with the date.
  • If the figure was right after all, I will tell you why, with the source.
  • Either way you get an answer.

Corrections published so far

None since launch. This section will list them as they happen — page, what was wrong, what it is now, and when it changed.

Before launch, checking all fifty-one jurisdictions against their own revenue departments turned up fifteen wrong figures inherited from a national table. Those were fixed before any page went live, and the story is on the about page.

A note on what counts as an error

A few dollars of difference against your real pay stub is usually not an error — employers use rounding tables, and there are deductions we deliberately do not model. The how we calculate page lists them. A wrong tax rate, a wrong deduction amount or a wrong bracket threshold is an error, and those are the ones to tell me about.
