A Flexible Spending Account (FSA), sometimes referred to as a ‘Cafeteria Plan’ or ‘Section 125 Cafeteria Plan’, helps you keep more of your paycheck by reducing your Federal and state taxes. It allows you to pay certain expenses before taxes are deducted from your paycheck. These expenses include daycare, insurance premiums and many out-of-pocket medical costs. Use this calculator to see how participating in your employer’s FSA can help you pay less tax, and increase your net take home pay.Withholding schedules, rules and rates are from "IRS Publication 15" and "IRS Publication 15T". This calculator uses the redesigned W-4 created to comply with the elimination of exemptions in the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA).
