Enter your Texas salary and see the full split — federal tax, Social Security and Medicare — down to the dollar. No state income tax to calculate.
Texas is one of just nine U.S. states that charge no state income tax at all — alongside Alaska, Florida, Nevada, New Hampshire, South Dakota, Tennessee, Washington, and Wyoming. For anyone comparing a Texas offer against a state with income tax, that's often the single biggest factor separating the two take-home numbers.
That doesn't mean a Texas paycheck is untouched, though. Federal income tax and FICA (Social Security and Medicare) still apply exactly as they would anywhere else in the country. This calculator shows both, so you can see precisely how much of your salary actually lands in your account each pay period.

Texas is one of nine U.S. states with no state income tax, so your paycheck is only reduced by federal income tax and FICA (Social Security and Medicare) — nothing is withheld for state tax.
Not on the employee side for income tax purposes. Texas funds itself primarily through sales and property tax instead. Your mandatory federal withholdings remain Social Security, Medicare, and federal income tax.
For the same gross salary, yes — all else equal, take-home pay is higher in Texas than in a state that also withholds state income tax, since one full deduction category is removed.
Texas doesn't levy local income tax, so there's nothing additional to model at the city or county level for payroll purposes.
Your state tax withholding changes as soon as your employer updates your work location and state tax election — typically your next pay cycle after your address and work state are updated in payroll, not retroactively.
No — since Texas has no state income tax at all, bonuses and overtime are only subject to federal tax and FICA, same as regular wages, just at whatever your marginal federal bracket happens to be for that pay period.
Generally no, if you're a Texas resident performing your work in Texas — you're typically taxed based on where you physically work, not where your employer is headquartered. It's worth confirming your state tax election is set correctly with payroll, since this sometimes gets set up incorrectly at first.
