NetPayPlannerTexas Paycheck Calculator
Enter your pay below and this Texas paycheck calculator shows what lands in your bank account after federal income tax, Social Security and Medicare. It works for salary or hourly pay and for weekly, bi-weekly, semi-monthly or monthly paychecks.
Texas has no state income tax, so the only taxes taken from a Texas paycheck are federal ones. That makes the gap between gross and net pay smaller than in states that tax wages.

How your Texas paycheck is calculated
We start with your gross pay and subtract any 401(k) or other pre-tax deductions you enter. Federal income tax is estimated from the 2026 brackets after the standard deduction for your filing status.
Social Security tax stops once your wages pass $184,500 for the year. Medicare tax has no cap. Texas adds nothing on top of that.
Frequently asked questions
Does Texas have a state income tax?
No. Texas does not tax wages or salary. You still pay federal income tax, Social Security and Medicare.
How much of my paycheck goes to taxes in Texas?
It depends on your income, filing status and deductions. For a single filer earning between $40,000 and $100,000, federal income tax plus Social Security and Medicare take about 14% to 21% of gross pay before any pre-tax deductions. The salary table above shows exact figures.
How is overtime taxed in Texas?
Overtime is taxed as regular income. It is not taxed at a higher rate. A large overtime check can look smaller than expected because payroll withholding treats that pay period as if you earned that much all year. Our overtime tax calculator shows the numbers.
Does this work as a Texas hourly wage calculator?
Yes. Choose Hourly, enter your rate and your weekly hours, and the calculator multiplies by 52 weeks to get annual pay. It works the same way as a Texas pay calculator or payroll calculator for any pay frequency.
Do 401(k) contributions change my Texas take-home pay?
A traditional 401(k) contribution lowers your federal income tax but not your Social Security or Medicare tax. Texas has no income tax to lower.
