About Texas Salary Calculator

Texas Salary Calculator is an independent online resource built to help employees, job seekers and anyone planning a move to Texas understand how much of their gross pay may remain after common payroll taxes.

What we do

The site provides a free browser-based calculator that estimates federal income tax and FICA on wages. Because Texas does not impose a state personal income tax on individual wages, the tool highlights federal withholding and payroll taxes that still apply.

Who it is for

The calculator is intended for W-2 employees who want a quick planning estimate. It is not a substitute for your employer's payroll system, a CPA or official IRS publications.

How we research tax figures

We rely on primary government sources such as IRS revenue procedures, Social Security Administration wage-base announcements and official Texas tax guidance. Details appear on our methodology page.

Educational purpose

All results are estimates for learning and planning. We do not provide personalized tax, legal or financial advice. See our disclaimer for limitations.
