How the Tennessee paycheck calculator works
This calculator estimates your take-home pay by applying four layers of US payroll taxes to your gross annual salary: federal income tax, Social Security (6.2%), and Medicare (1.45%). High earners pay an additional 0.9% Medicare surtax above the IRS threshold.
Federal income tax
Federal tax uses progressive brackets ranging from 10% to 37%. Each dollar is taxed only at the rate of the bracket it falls into — this is called your marginal rate, not your effective rate. The calculator applies the 2025 IRS brackets (Rev. Proc. 2024-40) and the $15,000 standard deduction for single filers.
Tennessee state tax
Tennessee has no state income tax on wages. The Hall tax on interest and dividend income was fully repealed effective 2021.
FICA (Social Security + Medicare)
FICA taxes are flat: 6.2% Social Security on wages up to the 2025 cap of $176,100, plus 1.45% Medicare on all wages. Single filers earning over $200,000 pay an additional 0.9% Medicare surtax on income above that threshold.
