About Tony

Tony Reaves II is the founder of Toota Industries, a defense industry operator and government contractor who works directly with the Defense Logistics Agency. Managing contract pricing, payroll, and compliance in the federal contracting world gave him a working knowledge of how gross pay turns into net pay — and how confusing that math is for most people.

He built CalculateMyW2.com because he believes financial clarity should be free and instant, not buried behind paywalls or signup forms. The calculator runs entirely in your browser, uses current IRS tax brackets and FICA rates, and covers state income tax rules for all 50 states.

• FICA taxes: Social Security and Medicare
• State-by-state take-home pay comparisons
• Pre-tax deductions: 401(k), HSA, FSA, and health insurance
