What CalcYet is, in two paragraphs
CalcYet is an independent editorial publisher of US payroll and tax-planning calculators, headquartered in Wilmington, Delaware. The company was founded in late 2024 by a small editorial team of credentialed tax professionals — two Certified Public Accountants and an IRS Enrolled Agent — after years of frustration with the “paycheck calculator” corner of the open web, where the math was often wrong and the methodology was almost never published.
The site publishes free calculators for take-home pay across all fifty states plus DC, federal withholding (W-4), 1099 self-employment tax, overtime under the Fair Labor Standards Act, bonus withholding, and salary-hourly conversions. Each calculator is paired with editorial explanations of the underlying methodology and links to the relevant IRS publication, Treasury regulation, or state agency page. The business is supported by display advertising under Google AdSense program policies, with the advertising operation walled off from editorial decisions. The full structure is documented in our editorial policy.
How to cite a CalcYet article or calculator
We’re happy to be cited — please do, especially for the figures we maintain in our changelog and our glossary. The format we prefer:
For example:
For citations of a calculator rather than an article, the format we use internally is:
You don’t need permission to quote or paraphrase. We appreciate a link back to the source page when feasible.
Editorial team available for comment
The three named authors at CalcYet are available for on-record comment on tax and payroll stories. We prefer email contact for first outreach, with deadline included.
What we’ll comment on, and what we won’t
We are happy to discuss factual tax mechanics, methodology behind specific calculators, IRS guidance and interpretation, common payroll errors we’ve diagnosed, and historical context for changes covered in our changelog. We will also point you at the relevant primary source — we’d rather have you cite the IRS directly than us, on facts we got from the IRS.
We don’t comment on individual taxpayer situations (privilege and licensure constraints), pending legislation we haven’t read in operational form, the merits of specific tax-software products unless we’ve formally reviewed them, political framings of tax policy, or speculation about future rate changes. Our editorial mandate is descriptive accuracy, not advocacy.
Logo and brand
Press use of the CalcYet name and the mark is permitted in editorial context (articles, citations, attributions, screenshots of calculator output) without prior approval. We ask that you preserve the capitalization (“CalcYet,” not “Calcyet” or “CALCYET”), avoid modifying or stretching the logo mark, and use sufficient contrast for legibility.
The mark is the small square gradient tile in the header of every page on the site. A clean PNG version is available at /apple-touch-icon.png for press use. We do not sell or license merchandise.
Recent independent uses of CalcYet content
This section will list third-party references when we have them. As a relatively new publisher, we don’t have a deep press archive yet — we’d rather show an empty list than fabricate one. If you cite or quote us, drop a note to press@calcyet.com and we’ll add the link here.

Editorial integrity and advertising
CalcYet is supported by Google AdSense display advertising. The advertising operation has no contact with editorial decisions. No advertiser sees an article before publication. We don’t accept paid placements, paid links, paid mentions, or sponsored content. The full disclosure is in our editorial policy.
