Texas is one of the nine U.S. states with no state income tax. That means the only mandatory deductions from your paycheck are federal: federal income tax, Social Security, and Medicare. There are no state disability (SDI) or paid family leave payroll deductions in Texas, unlike California or New York.
This generally makes Texas take-home pay higher than in states with an income tax, for the same gross salary.
What still comes out of your Texas paycheck
- Federal income tax — based on the 2026 IRS brackets and your W-4.
- Social Security — 6.2% of wages up to $184,500.
