Your calculator is wrong. Social security taxes have a cap on them.

Maybe some colour categorisation + colour coding so it's easy to see how much different bits cost. http://imgur.com/gxSxk

As you get more data you could maybe make it possible to drill down to get more detail too.

Your rock, nicely done. One suggestion: Maybe base the calculator off of Gross Income? That number is arguably better known by people than taxes paid. Just a thought.

You've got a misplaced decimal in your calculations somewhere, as your numbers add up to less than 10% of what I put in.
