Estimate take-home pay in Tennessee after federal income tax, FICA. The state rate below is pre-filled — adjust it for local taxes if needed.
Pre-filled with no state income tax. Estimates use current (2025) federal brackets and standard deductions and don't account for pre-tax deductions, credits, or every local rule — your actual paycheck may differ. Gusto runs these figures exactly on every payroll.
Tennessee payroll taxes
Tennessee has no state income tax on wages, so paychecks are only subject to federal income tax and FICA.
On top of any state tax, every Tennessee paycheck has federal income tax withheld based on the employee's W-4, plus Social Security (6.2%) and Medicare (1.45%). Employers also pay federal and state unemployment taxes. See the full breakdown in our payroll taxes guide.
