How Texas Taxes Affect Your Paycheck
Texas does not levy a state income tax on wages. Your paycheck is only subject to federal income tax and FICA (Social Security and Medicare).
How Texas paycheck estimates work
This Texas paycheck calculator combines federal income-tax withholding, Social Security, Medicare, and the state rules represented in the current 2025 tax tables. Texas uses no state individual income tax. The state estimate is based on annualized gross pay, filing status, pay frequency, and deductions entered in the calculator; it is not a quote from an employer payroll system.
What is included
The result separates gross pay, pre-tax deductions, federal withholding, FICA, state income tax, and estimated take-home pay. The state data summary below explains the main rate or bracket assumptions for Texas. Local city or county taxes, paid family leave, state disability insurance, benefits chosen through an employer, and unusual W-4 instructions may change an actual paycheck.

Enter the same pay frequency and gross pay shown on your offer or pay stub, then select filing status and deductions that match your situation. Compare the result with a real pay statement and revisit the estimate when your salary, residence, benefits, or tax year changes. The calculations are planning estimates for Tax Year 2025 and should be checked against the IRS and Texas tax authority before making a filing or payroll decision.
