Online take home pay and tax return calculators

Just wondering if anyone knows of a good website that provides *fairly accurate* numbers in terms of take home pay and tax return calculators, based on zip code.

By fairly accurate I mean: within a few hundred dollars, if possible.

I'm not looking for something that wants input for every line on my paycheck etc. Just a good estimator that takes into account fed/state/local taxes.

I'm trying to put together a pay-band spreadsheet with fairly accurate numbers, in order to know my line in the sand on moving to Oklahoma.

Thanks!

My line in the sand would be the Colorado border.:)

I use this one...was way closer than a couple hundred bucks. As anything the more information you have the more accurate it will be.

***OFF TOPIC***

If I could've talked Mrs BG into it OK would've been a possible "move to" state. I'm still amazed at how inexpensive homes are in some places there. I'm kinda partial to the SE area.

Do you file a Schedule A (itemized return) or anything special other than regular W-2 or retirement/pension income? Any special credits or anything like that?

This is one I’d found prior to making the thread. Finally got its settings where it matches my current so I’ve been using it.

I had a contact in Oklahoma try the property tax calc and it was a little off. Found same issue for ours, but that is due to our particular neighborhood.

No clue on their tax return accuracy.

3 kids. Married/joint. Mortgage interest. Just finished Bachelors at end of 2018 so maybe school credit? Otherwise, nothing itemized.
