Embed Our Paycheck Calculator on Your Site

By Barron Hansen, Founder · Updated April 20, 2026

If you run a personal finance site, a relocation blog, a job-board, or a salary-negotiation guide, you can embed the PaycheckCalc paycheck calculator on your own pages for free. The widget works on any site that supports HTML iframes. There is no signup, no API key, and no tracking pixel. You can customize the default state, the default salary, or both via URL parameters, so a California relocation article can embed a calculator pre-set to California or a $100,000 salary. Attribution back to PaycheckCalc is included automatically in the widget footer; please leave it intact as a condition of free use.

Basic embed code

Paste the snippet below anywhere on your page. The calculator loads with no preset state or salary; users pick their own.

Embed code
<iframe src="https://paychecktakehomecalculator.com/embed/calculator"
        width="100%" height="900" frameborder="0"
        title="PaycheckCalc 2026 paycheck calculator"></iframe>

Live preview

The iframe below is the actual widget at its default settings.

Customization options

Pre-select a state

Add ?state=CA to the URL. The state code is the two-letter USPS abbreviation (CA, NY, TX, FL, and so on).

Embed code
<iframe src="https://paychecktakehomecalculator.com/embed/calculator?state=CA"
        width="100%" height="900" frameborder="0"
        title="PaycheckCalc 2026 paycheck calculator"></iframe>

Pre-set a salary

Add ?salary=100000 to start the calculator at a specific gross annual salary. Enter the number without commas or a dollar sign.

        width="100%" height="900" frameborder="0"
        title="PaycheckCalc 2026 paycheck calculator"></iframe>

Pre-set filing status

Add ?filing=single or ?filing=married to set the default filing status. The user can still change it after the widget loads.

        width="100%" height="900" frameborder="0"

Combine parameters

Chain parameters with &. A California relocation article can preset both state and salary at once.

Embed code
<iframe src="https://paychecktakehomecalculator.com/embed/calculator?state=CA&salary=100000"
        width="100%" height="900" frameborder="0"
        title="PaycheckCalc 2026 paycheck calculator"></iframe>

Recommended sizing

A height of 900px covers the full calculator on most layouts. 600 to 700px works if your container is narrow and you are comfortable letting the calculator scroll internally. The widget is responsive on width, so a 100% width attribute fills whatever container you place it in.

Attribution requirement

The widget includes a small "Powered by paychecktakehomecalculator.com" link in the footer. This must remain intact as a condition of free use. Please do not strip the attribution with CSS, frame-busting, or other workarounds.
