## About

PayDecode is a free US-focused paycheck and payroll planning tool. It helps workers, small-business owners, and HR teams explore how pay frequency, overtime, withholding, FICA, state payroll differences, and common deductions can affect take-home pay. The site pairs calculators with plain-language source notes and paystub review guidance, so visitors can understand an estimate before verifying details with payroll or the relevant official agency. PayDecode is designed for education and planning; it does not replace employer payroll records or professional tax, legal, accounting, or payroll advice.
