See how PocketSmith worksTexas state income tax
Texas is one of the nine states with no state income tax on wages. That means your paycheck in Texas is reduced only by federal income tax and FICA — there is no state withholding line on your pay stub for wage income.
See States With No Income Tax for how the nine no-tax states raise revenue instead, and what zero state tax really means for your take-home pay.
What comes out of a Texas paycheck
Only federal taxes. Texas has no state income tax (a 2019 constitutional amendment bans one), and no state payroll deduction, so your paycheck is reduced only by federal income tax and FICA (Social Security at 6.2% and Medicare at 1.45%).
Texas raises money in other ways instead: a 6.25% state sales tax plus up to 2% in local sales tax, and property taxes set by local governments. Those don't come out of your paycheck, but they're worth factoring into your budget.
Do Houston, Dallas or Austin charge a city income tax?
No. No Texas city charges an income tax, so the same salary takes home the same amount in Houston, Dallas, Austin, San Antonio or Fort Worth.
