Texas income tax in 2026
Texas has no state individual income tax.
Texas is one of nine states with no personal income tax — and it is constitutionally locked in: a 2019 amendment requires voter approval to ever create one. Whatever federal taxes take, Texas itself takes nothing from your wages, which is a big reason a $75,000 salary in Dallas stretches further than the same salary in Sacramento.
The trade-off shows up elsewhere: Texas leans on property taxes (among the highest effective rates in the nation) and sales tax (6.25% state, up to 8.25% with local add-ons). Renters partially escape the property-tax bite; homeowners should budget for it when comparing job offers across states.

How the Texas paycheck calculator works
Your paycheck is reduced by several taxes before you see your net pay:
- Federal income tax — seven 2026 brackets from 10% to 37%, applied after the standard deduction ($16,100 single, $32,200 married).
- Social Security — 6.2% on wages up to $184,500 (2026).
- Medicare — 1.45% on all wages, plus 0.9% on high earnings.
- State income tax — Texas does not levy a state income tax on wages, so your only payroll taxes are federal.
