Paycheck Calculator — Texas
Texas charges no state individual income tax, so a Texas paycheck keeps more of every raise than most states. This page estimates Texas take-home pay using only 2026 federal income tax, the 6.2% Social Security tax up to the $184,500 wage base, and the 1.45% Medicare tax — there is no state withholding line at all.

Estimate for the 2026 tax year using the federal standard deduction and published IRS/SSA rates. It does not model itemized deductions, tax credits, dependents, or local city taxes. Texas levies no state individual income tax, so take-home pay reflects only federal income tax and FICA. Not tax advice.
