How is Your Tax Refund Calculated?

Your tax refund is essentially the government paying you back the interest-free loan you gave them throughout the year via paycheck withholdings. It is calculated as:

Refund = (Total Tax Withheld + Tax Credits) - Total Tax Liability

Standard Deductions (2024-2025 Estimates)

  • Single Filers: Approx. $14,600
  • Married Filing Jointly: Approx. $29,200
  • Head of Household: Approx. $21,900

This calculator helps you estimate if you should adjust your W-4 withholdings to get more money in your paycheck now, rather than waiting for a refund later.
