How the Texas 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.

Texas state tax

Texas does not levy a state personal income tax.

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.
