Quick FAQ

Is TuBoost a payroll system?

No. It is a planning calculator for W-2 salary comparisons, not a payroll engine or tax return tool.

Does TuBoost include state taxes?

Yes. Pages start with a state-specific estimate layer, and you can override the state and local tax inputs if your pay stub differs.

What is the best way to use the calculator?

Start with your gross salary, choose filing status, add pre-tax deductions, and then compare your state with a low-tax and a higher-tax state.
