Texas is one of nine U.S. states with no state income tax at all, funding its budget instead through sales and property taxes. That means a Texas paycheck keeps more of the gross amount than an equivalent salary in most other states — the only deductions are federal income tax and FICA (Social Security + Medicare).
We start with your gross pay, apply the 2026 IRS standard deduction for your filing status, then run the remainder through the seven federal tax brackets (10% to 37%) so only the income inside each bracket is taxed at that bracket's rate. Social Security (6.2%, up to the $184,500 wage base) and Medicare (1.45%, plus an extra 0.9% above $200,000) come off next, followed by any applicable state tax.
