Data Sources & Methodology
All tax calculations on PowerballTax.com are based on publicly available IRS publications and official Powerball rules for the 2026 tax year. Federal withholding uses the 24% rate mandated by IRC §3402(q); the top-bracket adjustment reflects the 37% marginal rate above the single-filer threshold of $640,600 (IRS Rev. Proc. 2025-11). State rates are sourced from individual state lottery commission disclosures and cross-verified against Tax Foundation data.
Last verified: June 2026Rates reflect IRS 2026 tax year schedules. State rates reviewed quarterly.

What is the Powerball Tax Calculator?
The Powerball Tax Calculator is a free, bilingual web tool that estimates the after-tax jackpot of any U.S. Powerball prize. It applies 24% federal withholding, an additional federal top-bracket adjustment above the $640,600 (2026) threshold, and the headline state lottery tax rate for all 50 states. Results appear live as you type.
How federal tax works on a Powerball win
Federal tax is applied in two layers. The lottery withholds a flat 24% at the claim centre for any prize over $5,000. The remaining ~13% needed to reach the 37% top marginal bracket is owed on April 15 of the following year. For a $1B advertised jackpot taken as cash ($600M gross), that combined federal bill is roughly $222M.
How state tax works on a Powerball win
State tax is applied by the state that sold the ticket. Nine states — California, Florida, Nevada, New Hampshire, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Washington, Wyoming — do not tax Powerball winnings at all. New York is the highest at 10.9%, with a 3.876% New York City add-on on top.
When to open the full calculator

Frequently asked questions
What is the Powerball Tax Calculator?
The Powerball Tax Calculator is a free bilingual web tool that estimates the after-tax jackpot of any U.S. Powerball prize. It applies 24% federal withholding, an additional top-bracket federal adjustment above the $640,600 (2026 single) threshold, and the headline state lottery tax rate for all 50 states plus DC. Results update live as you type and can be shared via URL.
How much does a Powerball winner actually take home?
A U.S. jackpot winner pays a 24% federal withholding at source plus an additional federal tax that pushes the top-bracket rate to roughly 37%. State tax ranges from 0% (California, Florida, Texas, Washington) to 10.9% (New York), so take-home on a $1B advertised prize is typically $300M–$380M in lump-sum cash.
Is the Powerball Tax Calculator free?
Yes. PowerballTax.com is a free educational calculator with no signup, paywall, or ads targeting personal identifiers. All computations happen in your browser; we do not store the numbers you enter.
Does the calculator include the lump sum (cash) option?
Yes. The calculator estimates cash value at 60% of the advertised annuity jackpot, then applies federal withholding, estimated top-bracket federal tax, and state tax. Switch between "Cash lump sum" and "30-year annuity" to compare side by side.
Which U.S. states do not tax Powerball winnings?
California, Florida, Nevada, New Hampshire, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Washington, and Wyoming do not tax Powerball winnings at the state level. Alaska, Alabama (no state lottery), and a few others also have no state income tax. Federal tax still applies everywhere.
How fresh is the Powerball data shown on this page?
Live winning numbers, jackpot, cash value, and next draw date refresh automatically after every scheduled Powerball draw night via a Vercel cron. State tax rates are reviewed quarterly against the Tax Foundation and state lottery disclosures.
