Texas State Income Tax Guide (2026)

Texas levies no individual state income tax, so your take-home pay is reduced only by federal income tax and FICA.

1. No State Income Tax in Texas

Texas is one of only nine states that levies no individual income tax on wages. That means your Texas paycheck is reduced only by federal income tax and FICA (Social Security and Medicare) withholdings. Whether you earn $40,000 or $400,000, your state income tax liability is exactly $0.

2. The Trade-Off: Other Texas Taxes

Texas funds government through high property taxes (1.6%-2.2% of home value) and a sales tax of up to 8.25%. States without an income tax recover revenue through other channels, so it is worth factoring these into your overall cost of living.

3. Why Pre-Tax Deductions Still Matter

Even with no state income tax, contributing to a Traditional 401(k) or HSA lowers your federal taxable income. Because Texas conforms to federal rules, these contributions reduce the only income tax you pay as a resident, stretching every paycheck further.
