Texas Paycheck Taxes
Texas does not levy an individual state income tax, so no state withholding is deducted from a Texas paycheck. Federal income tax, Social Security, and Medicare still apply the same way they do in every state.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does Texas have state income tax?
No. The Texas Constitution prohibits an individual income tax, so no state income tax is withheld from a Texas paycheck.
How much tax is taken out of a paycheck in Texas?
Only federal taxes apply: federal income tax withholding, Social Security (6.2% up to the annual wage base), and Medicare (1.45%, plus an Additional Medicare Tax of 0.9% above $200,000). There's no state or local tax added on top.
Does it matter whether I work in Houston, Dallas, Austin, or San Antonio?
No. Texas has no local income tax anywhere in the state, so your paycheck withholding is the same regardless of which Texas city or county you work in.
How do I calculate take-home pay in Texas?
Enter your salary or hourly rate, pay frequency, and federal filing status above. Since there's no Texas state tax to configure, the calculator applies only federal income tax, Social Security, and Medicare, plus any deductions you add, to estimate your take-home pay.
