Texas Paycheck Calculator
Estimate your take-home pay in Texas after federal income tax, Social Security and Medicare.
About this Texas paycheck calculator
This is the CalcPaid paycheck calculator with Texas already selected. Enter your pay and how often you are paid, and it estimates your 2026 Texas take-home pay after federal income tax, Social Security and Medicare. Texas has no state income tax, so nothing is taken out for one.
It runs the same calculation as the US Paycheck Calculator. If you work in a different state, choose it in the calculator above.
Everything is calculated in your browser. Your figures are never sent to a server, written to the address bar or stored. The site uses Google Analytics to count visits, which sees that this page was opened, not what you typed into it. The privacy page has the detail.
What the calculator applies for Texas
- Texas does not levy a state income tax on wages. Article VIII, section 24-a of the Texas Constitution says the legislature may not impose a tax on the net incomes of individuals. Texas voters approved that amendment in 2019.
- Nothing is added for Texas. The calculator takes out no Texas income tax, no Texas payroll contribution and no city or county income tax.
- No state income tax does not mean no deductions. Federal income tax, Social Security and Medicare are still worked out on Texas pay, and anything you enter as a deduction — 401(k) contributions or health insurance premiums, for example — still comes out of your paycheck.
- Checked at the source. How the calculator treats Texas was checked directly against the text of the Texas Constitution.
An estimate, not your pay stub
The result is an annualized estimate rather than an exact payroll withholding calculation. Your employer’s payroll system works pay period by pay period, using the withholding forms you filed and your year-to-date pay — information this calculator does not have — so the figure on a given paycheck can fall either side of the one shown here.
Your pay stub is the authority on what was actually withheld, and your tax return is the authority on what you finally owe for the year.
