Take the 2-minute tour ×  I keep reading about software industry
salaries in the US. 100k / year, 130k / year, etc. Are these
numbers before or after taxes ?  What is an estimate of the
salary after taxes ?  EDIT: I would appreciate if knowledgeable
folks would estimate it for me instead of sending me to some
online calculator sites. I have zero knowledge of how to
calculate the average Joe's wage after taxes. Joe is not
married, lives in California, and he was born there. No special
status, he has to pay everything he owes in CA.   share|improve
this question $100K is not a typical salary for software
industry people in the US. It is on the high side for a software
engineer, but for an experienced programmer it isn't entirely
uncommon. –  JohnFx Jan 14 '12 at 18:39 There are many aspects
that factor into how much tax you will be paying. Own or rent
your house? Any bank accounts getting interest? Any of that
money going into pre-tax 401Ks? All of this sort of stuff makes
a big difference in the after taxes pa
