How Your Texas Income is Calculated
Texas is one of the few states in the U.S. that does not impose a state individual income tax. This means your "take-home pay" in Texas is generally higher than in states like California or New York. However, you are still responsible for Federal Income Tax and FICA (Social Security and Medicare).
Federal Income Tax Brackets (2024-2025)
Your federal tax is calculated using a progressive system. This calculator applies the standard deduction based on your filing status before calculating the tax brackets:
Single: $14,600 standard deductionMarried Filing Jointly: $29,200 standard deductionHead of Household: $21,900 standard deduction
FICA Taxes
Regardless of which state you live in, FICA taxes are mandatory:
Social Security: 6.2% of your gross pay up to a maximum wage base of $168,600 (for 2024).Medicare: 1.45% of all gross pay. (An additional 0.9% may apply for high earners over $200,000, not calculated in this basic estimator).
Example Calculation for Texas
If you earn $75,000 annually in Texas as a single filer:
Gross: $75,000Standard Deduction: -$14,600 = $60,400 taxable income.Federal Tax: Calculated through progressive brackets (~$8,500).FICA: Social Security (~$4,650) + Medicare (~$1,087).State Tax: $0.Total Take-Home: Approx $60,763 per year.
