The Core Formula

Annual = Σ(monthly ×12) + yearly. Small $9.99 ×12 = $119.88.

All figures use 2026 published baselines: federal standard deduction $16,100 (single) / $32,200 (married filing jointly), Social Security wage base $184,500, and the FLSA 40-hour workweek (2,080 hours/year). For state-specific rates, see the State Money Data hub.
