How Tennessee taxes your paycheck
Tennessee has no state income tax after fully repealing its tax on investment income.
Every U.S. paycheck also has federal income tax (based on the 2025 brackets and your filing status), Social Security (6.2% up to the annual wage base) and Medicare (1.45%). Pre-tax 401(k) and HSA contributions lower the income that both federal and FICA taxes apply to, so raising your retirement contribution is the simplest way to shrink the tax line.
