2025 September legit used the free one for years… finally saved 6 dollars… spent 5 on this… now I have a dollar and an app that don’t work says no connection every time… give me my money back
They have not yet updated the current California SDI percentage of 1.2%
Love this app. Have been using it for a few years now. My hours are never the same at work. I do work a lot of OT, so this helps give an accurate estimate of my check will look like with 401k contributions and post tax deductions. But only if the settings are set correctly. I would give 5 stars if they added a section for bonuses.
I’ve used it for over 10 years. I liked the simple interface which gets the job done. I keep multiple profiles for employees, with multiple deductions, i.e. health insurance and 401k deductions. Calculations are always spot on. Wish I could print checks and W2s from the app.
App keeps crashing
App is great have been using for years, but only recently have I found a bug in the state tax calculations. If your check grosses over 3500$ it will not calculate any state tax at all
Don't use. They have not calculated the social security deduction correctly. If your paying a fee for the program they should get it right. There is a maximum which they have not taken into account. I purchased the program and expected that they would have used the correct calculation for social security
I paid for this service and now the app doesn’t work. I want my 4.99 back or the app fixed.
This app is so helpful to me. I am able plan out my bills, money to save, etc. It has become one of the most important apps on my phone. The customer service team is great. There was an issue with the app not calculating my state tax deductions, and I emailed them, took a little bit of time, but they got it resolved, and the app is back to being accurate as always.
I’ve been using this app for 3 years now and it has always been of great help to calculate my checks. It may be off by no more than $10 but that has more to do with jobs take a few more dollars here and there for taxes than the app. Best advice is to download this app and make sure you put in any additional taxes or withholdings in your settings to get an accurate amount. Only thing I wish this app had was holiday pay section. It would just make it a little easier to calculate checks if holiday pay was an option.
