Texas Paycheck Calculator
Estimate take-home pay in Texas 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.
Texas payroll taxes
Texas has no state income tax, so your take-home pay is only reduced by federal income tax and FICA.
On top of any state tax, every Texas 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.
