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.
Other States With No Income Tax
Texas is one of nine no-income-tax states. If you are comparing relocation options, see take-home pay in the other tax-free states: Florida, Washington, Tennessee, Nevada, New Hampshire, South Dakota, Wyoming, Alaska.
Worked example: $75,000 salary in Texas
Texas does not levy an individual income tax on wages. That makes the state income-tax line zero, but it does not make a paycheck tax-free: federal income tax, Social Security, and Medicare still apply.
| Annual amount | Estimate |
|---|---|
| Federal income tax | $7,670 |
| Texas income tax | $0 |
| Social Security and Medicare | $5,738 |
| State payroll deductions | $0 |
| Estimated take-home pay | $61,593 |
This single-filer example uses no pre-tax benefits. It isolates the effect of federal income tax and FICA in a no-state-wage-tax state.
Texas context and data boundary
Property and sales taxes are important to a Texas household budget, but they are not payroll deductions and are intentionally out of scope here. The linked Comptroller resource supports the no-individual-income-tax treatment.
