How this is calculated
Federal income tax uses the 2026 single-filer brackets after the standard deduction.
FICA adds Social Security up to the wage base and Medicare, including the additional Medicare tax.
State income tax uses the selected state's single-filer schedule.
Health insurance is the average employee share for single coverage.
LCA filings are not hires.
Filed wages are offered base pay, not total compensation.
We did not independently verify the source files. Deduplication and filtering can cause differences from the original data.
