WorkLogs44 vs My Paycheck Calculator

Quick answer

My Paycheck Calculator by Bird Software LLC estimates one person’s take-home pay and taxes for tax years 2021 through 2026, including local tax in 14 states, stock pay and investment income. It’s been on the App Store since 2023, runs on iPhone, iPad and Android, and holds 4.7 stars from 244 US ratings. For employers, there’s a catch: its listing says nothing about employer payroll taxes or a payroll for several employees.

Side-by-side

Where My Paycheck Calculator wins

It goes down to city and county tax. My Paycheck Calculator covers local income tax in 14 states: Alabama, Colorado, Delaware, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Maryland, Michigan, Missouri, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Oregon and Pennsylvania. That list grew from New York alone in version 3.9.1 in February 2026. WorkLogs44 lists federal and state income tax for all 50 states plus DC. Local tax is not stated. So if you pay city or county tax in one of those states, only one of these two apps says it handles it.

It sees more of your income than the paycheck. It takes stock compensation (ISOs, NSOs and RSUs), dividends, interest, capital gains, self-employment income and Social Security benefits. It applies the Child Tax Credit, the Earned Income Tax Credit and the Other Dependent Credit, plus the new deductions for tip income, overtime, car loan interest and seniors. Its calculations cover tax years 2021 through 2026. The WorkLogs44 listing doesn’t say which tax year its tables use.

Built for keeping your own records. Version 3.9 in January 2026 added exports to PDF, Excel, CSV and image summaries. The app syncs through iCloud across iPhone and iPad, tracks income and taxes across up to six years, and sends opt-in reminders for Tax Day and quarterly estimated tax dates. On the WorkLogs44 listing, export is not stated, and neither is any cloud sync.

A track record and a lighter privacy label. My Paycheck Calculator has been on the App Store since 2023, reached version 4.3 in September 2026, and holds 4.7 stars from 244 US ratings. WorkLogs44 arrived on the App Store in 2026 and has no ratings there yet. Both privacy labels declare no data used to track you. The difference is in what’s collected: My Paycheck Calculator lists only diagnostics, while WorkLogs44 lists purchases, identifiers, usage data and diagnostics, none of it linked to you.

Where WorkLogs44 wins

It adds up a payroll for several people. In My Paycheck Calculator, the multiple employers feature means one person holding several jobs. Nothing on its listing covers a payroll for several employees. WorkLogs44 works out gross wages, take-home per employee and the employer’s payroll taxes for a whole team, with separate saved payrolls for teams, departments or what-if scenarios. A sample three-employee payroll loads instantly, so you can try it before entering your own staff.

It shows the employer’s side of the bill. The only employer figure on My Paycheck Calculator’s listing is the 401(k) match. WorkLogs44 adds the Social Security match at 6.2% (capped at the federal wage base), the Medicare match at 1.45%, FUTA at 0.6% up to its federal wage cap, and SUTA at the rate and wage base you enter for your state. Per-employee year-to-date tracking stops Social Security and FUTA at their caps.

Withholding from the W-4, per paycheck. My Paycheck Calculator estimates federal tax from brackets, credits and deductions, and its listing never mentions the W-4. WorkLogs44 takes pre-2020 and post-2020 W-4 inputs: filing status, dependents and additional withholding. It covers eight pay frequencies from daily to yearly, overtime with custom multipliers, and post-tax lines such as Roth 403(b), Roth 457(b), union dues and creditor garnishments.

Pricing

• WorkLogs44 is free to download with no account and no ads. Pro is $2.99 a week or $29.99 a year, after a 7-day free trial. The store page doesn’t spell out what the free tier limits or what Pro unlocks.
• My Paycheck Calculator by Bird Software LLC is free to download, and version 4.0 in March 2026 made 2026 tax-year calculations free for all users. The App Store lists nine subscriptions named only by length: 1 week at $1.59, $2.99 or $3.99; 1 month at $3.99 or $5.99; and 12 months at four prices from $17.99 to $34.99. The store page doesn’t spell out what the subscriptions add. Google Play shows $3.99 to $29.99 per item.

A year of WorkLogs44 Pro on the annual plan is $29.99, which sits inside My Paycheck Calculator’s 12-month range of $17.99 to $34.99. But if the free 2026 tax-year calculations cover what you need, My Paycheck Calculator costs nothing.

Which one should you pick?

Pick My Paycheck Calculator if you want a close look at your own take-home pay, you owe city or county tax in one of its 14 states, you have stock, investment or self-employment income, or you want PDF, Excel or CSV exports and iCloud sync between iPhone and iPad.

Pick WorkLogs44 if you pay other people and need the full cost of a payroll (the employer’s Social Security and Medicare match, FUTA and SUTA included), you want withholding worked out from W-4 inputs, or you want an app that works offline with no account and no ads.
