Planning estimate only — not employer exact withholding. Federal tax uses IRS 2026 brackets and FICA follows the SSA wage base. Texas does not tax wages at the state level. See Sources & methodology for all citations.

How this is calculated

Texas is one of nine states with no broad personal income tax on wages. Your paycheck still includes federal income tax withholding and employee FICA, but there is no Texas state income tax line on a typical W-2.

This calculator annualizes your gross pay, applies 2026 federal brackets and standard deductions, then subtracts Social Security and Medicare. Pre-tax 401(k) and health insurance reduce taxable wages before the estimate runs.

Local payroll taxes are not modeled here. If you compare Texas to a state with income tax, pair this page with the general paycheck calculator and switch states.

Formula

Net pay = gross pay - federal income tax estimate - Social Security - Medicare - pre-tax deductions

Numbers and assumptions are documented on our Sources & methodology page.
