Pay & tax
Texas paycheck calculator (2025)
Estimate your Texas take-home pay using the 2025 tax tables. Enter your annual salary, filing status and any extra pay or deductions.
How it works
Texas has no state income tax on wages. This calculator estimates federal income tax, Social Security and Medicare, using your annual salary and the deductions you enter. Individual paychecks may differ from the monthly average shown here.
Frequently asked questions
Why is there no state tax line for Texas?
Texas is one of nine states — along with Alaska, Florida, Nevada, New Hampshire, South Dakota, Tennessee, Washington and Wyoming — that charge no state income tax on wages.
Does Texas make up for it with other taxes?
Yes, indirectly: Texas has relatively high sales tax and property tax compared with many states that do charge income tax. Neither appears on a payslip, so both are outside the scope of this take-home pay calculator.
Is my take-home pay in Texas higher than in a state with income tax?
At the same gross salary, yes — federal tax, Social Security and Medicare are the same everywhere, so without a state tax deduction, more of your salary reaches your bank account.
How accurate is this for Texas specifically?
It uses the same published federal tax, Social Security and Medicare rates as every state, with no state tax line since Texas charges none. See the main US take-home pay calculator for all 50 states.
Method: published US 2025 federal tax year rates. This is an estimate, not tax advice. How our calculators work.
