I built PaycheckForge because most paycheck calculators give a number without showing how they got there. The goal was to make the assumptions visible: federal and state rates, pay frequency, deductions, selected local choices, and important limits. The calculation engine is deterministic; AI is optional and only explains results. I'd love feedback from people comparing offers, planning a move, or budgeting a hire—especially on where the explanation still feels unclear.
