How Texas taxes your paycheck

Texas has no state income tax, so your only paycheck withholdings are federal income tax and FICA (Social Security and Medicare).

This calculator applies the 2026 federal tax brackets and standard deduction, the 2026 FICA rates (6.2% Social Security up to the $184,500 wage base and 1.45% Medicare on all wages, plus the 0.9% Additional Medicare Tax on high earners), and Texas's 2026 state rate.

How this is calculated

  1. Federal income tax — your gross minus the 2026 standard deduction ($16,100 single, $32,200 married filing jointly, $24,150 head of household), run through the 2026 federal brackets for your filing status.
  2. FICA — 6.2% Social Security on wages up to $184,500, 1.45% Medicare on all wages, and a 0.9% Additional Medicare Tax above $200,000 (single) / $250,000 (married filing jointly).
  3. Texas state tax — Texas has no state income tax, so this line is $0.
  4. Pre-tax deductions (optional) — 401(k)/403(b) contributions lower your federal (and, in most states, state) taxable income but not FICA; HSA/FSA and pre-tax health premiums lower federal, state, and FICA wages. Your contributions are still your money — they're saved into those accounts, not paid out in your check.

What it doesn't model: local city/county taxes, itemized deductions, or state-specific credits — so treat the result as a solid planning estimate, not a payroll-exact figure. (Pre-tax 401(k)/HSA/premium deductions are now included via the optional fields.)

Texas paycheck FAQ

Does Texas have a state income tax in 2026?

No. Texas does not tax wage income in 2026, so no state income tax is withheld from your paycheck — only federal income tax and FICA.

How much is taken out of a Texas paycheck?

Every paycheck has federal income tax (2026 brackets, by filing status) and FICA — 6.2% Social Security up to the $184,500 wage base and 1.45% Medicare on all wages. Texas withholds no state income tax. Enter your salary above for the exact split.

Is this take-home figure exact?

It's a close estimate. It uses the real 2026 federal and FICA rules, Texas's 2026 state rate, and your pre-tax 401(k)/HSA/premium inputs, but it doesn't model local city taxes or every state credit — use it to plan, not to reconcile a pay stub.

This calculator is an educational estimate, not tax advice or a payroll statement. It does not account for pre-tax deductions, local taxes, or every credit. Verify important figures with a tax professional. Data as of July 2026.
