How Texas taxes your paycheck

Texas has no state income tax, which makes its take-home pay among the highest for any given salary.

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.
