How Texas taxes your paycheck
Texas does not charge a state income tax on wages, so your paycheck loses only federal income tax and Social Security and Medicare (FICA).
Texas has no state income tax, and its constitution requires voter approval for one.
Sales tax is 6.25% at state level, and local governments can add up to 2%, so the combined rate reaches 8.25% in many cities.
Property taxes are high, which matters if you own a home.
Texas vs other states
At a $75,000 salary, a single worker in Texas takes home about $61,593 a year ($5,133 a month). In California the same salary leaves about $57,830, which is $3,763 less.
Living in a state with no income tax saves the most at higher pay, but it often comes with higher sales or property taxes. Compare the full cost of living, not only the paycheck.
