Texas take-home pay explained

This Texas paycheck calculator estimates your net (take-home) pay for the 2025 tax year. It subtracts federal income tax, Social Security, and Medicare from your gross salary. Because Texas has no state income tax, residents keep more of every paycheck than those in high-tax states.

Does Texas have a state income tax?

No — Texas has no state income tax. It is one of just nine states (Alaska, Florida, Nevada, New Hampshire, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Washington, Wyoming) that do not tax wage income. Your only mandatory withholdings are federal income tax and FICA (Social Security + Medicare).

Federal taxes on your Texas paycheck

Regardless of state, every US paycheck has federal income tax and FICA withheld:

  • Federal income tax — progressive brackets from 10% to 37% for 2025, applied after the standard deduction.
  • Social Security — 6.2% on wages up to the $176,100 wage base.
  • Medicare — 1.45% on all wages, plus 0.9% above $200,000 (single) / $250,000 (married).

How to use this calculator

  1. Enter your annual gross salary — total pay before deductions.
  2. Choose your filing status — single, married filing jointly, or head of household.
  3. Confirm the state — Texas is preselected; switch states to compare.
  4. Add pretax deductions — 401(k), health insurance, and HSA lower your taxable income.

The result updates instantly, showing your Texas net annual, monthly, and biweekly take-home pay alongside a breakdown of every tax.

Compare Texas to other states

Take-home pay can vary by thousands of dollars for the same salary depending on the state. Since Texas charges no state income tax, a move here from a high-tax state can meaningfully raise your net pay. Use the state dropdown to model any state, or explore related tools:
