Texas has no state income tax, protected by a constitutional amendment approved by voters in 2019. The trade-off is property tax: effective rates average around 1.6%, among the highest in the country, so homeowners recover much less of the benefit than renters do.

Texas paycheck questions
Does Texas have a state income tax?
No. Texas does not tax wage income, so your paycheck deductions are limited to federal income tax, Social Security and Medicare.
What is the take-home pay on $75,000 in Texas?
Roughly $61,314 a year for a single filer taking the standard deduction — about $5,109 a month, or $2,358 per bi-weekly paycheck. That is an effective tax rate of 18.2%.
Are there local income taxes in Texas?
No. Texas has no city or county income taxes, so the state rate is the only state-level deduction from your wages.
How much is taken out for Social Security and Medicare?
Social Security is 6.2% on the first $176,100 of wages in 2025, and Medicare is 1.45% with no cap. Together these are called FICA and total 7.65%. Your employer pays a matching 7.65% that does not appear on your payslip.
Is this calculator exact?
Choose 2025 or 2026 for the federal estimate. Historical examples below use 2025 figures. The Texas state line uses an approximate effective rate rather than the full bracket schedule, and local taxes, 401(k) contributions and insurance premiums are not included.
