Texas has no state income tax

Texas is one of a handful of states that does not tax wage income at all. On a Texas payslip the only mandatory deductions are federal income tax and FICA — Social Security and Medicare — which is why the state tax line above reads zero.

That does not make Texas a low-tax state for everyone. It raises revenue through property and sales taxes instead, and Texas property tax rates are among the highest in the country. Neither shows up on a payslip, but both land in a monthly budget, so a Texas offer and an out-of-state offer are not comparable on take-home pay alone.

No Texas city levies an income tax either, so unlike Ohio or New York there is no local layer to look up. The figure above is the whole picture on the payroll side.

Only if you enter them. Pre-tax retirement contributions and health premiums come out of your pay before income tax is calculated, so including them raises your take-home relative to a plain gross-to-net estimate. Health premiums also reduce Social Security and Medicare, while retirement contributions do not — which is why the two fields are separate.

Each qualifying child is worth a $2,200 federal tax credit. A credit comes off the tax you owe rather than off your taxable income, so it is worth the same amount whatever bracket you are in. It begins phasing out above $200,000 of income, or $400,000 filing jointly. Texas has no state income tax, so the federal credit is the whole of it there. Enter the number of children above and every figure updates.

It uses the 2026 federal and state tax tables and standard deductions, so it lands close for a straightforward salaried situation, but your actual paycheck will differ. It covers the federal child tax credit and the main state credits and exemptions, but not credits that depend on a child's age or household income, and it does not model local or municipal income tax, itemised deductions, multi-state work or supplemental wages such as bonuses. It is an estimate rather than tax advice.
