Professional Lottery Calculators for Smart Winners
A lottery win is life-changing, but taxes can take a big chunk. Our lottery tax calculator helps you estimate what you’ll keep after federal and state taxes, so you can plan smarter. Just enter your prize amount and state to get started.
For example, a $10,000 win in a tax-free state like Texas could mean more in your pocket than in a high-tax state like New York. Use our calculator to see your numbers and make informed choices.
This tool provides estimates only and is not a substitute for professional tax or legal advice.

How does the lottery tax calculator work?
Enter your prize amount, state, and payout option to get an estimated net amount after federal and state taxes. Visit the calculator page for details.
Does it work for every state?
Yes, it includes all 50 states, even those with no lottery tax like Florida and Texas. Non-resident rules are also considered.
