STATE RULE / 2026

Texas does not levy a state individual income tax on wages. The absence of a Texas income-tax line does not remove federal or FICA withholding from a pay stub. The estimate for a single filer earning $75,000 annually is $61,592.50 take-home pay, or $2,368.94 across 26 biweekly checks.

The state line in this example is $0.00. Federal income tax is $7,670.00 and employee FICA is $5,737.50.

These are annualized planning figures. Your actual withholding depends on your federal and state forms, benefits, other income and payroll timing. Read the complete calculation method.
