Texas Take-Home Pay After Taxes (2026)
A single filer earning $75,000 in Texas keeps about $61,593 a year - $5,133/month or $2,369 per biweekly check - after federal tax, no state income tax, Social Security and Medicare. Texas imposes NO state individual income tax on any income, including wages. There is no state standard deduction or personal exemption because there is no income tax return to file. The no-income-tax status is constitutionally entrenched: Article 8, Section 24-a of the Texas Constitution (added by voter-approved Proposition 4 in 2019) bars the legislature from taxing the net incomes of individuals; lifting it would require a future constitutional amendment. No local or city income taxes exist in Texas. Retirement income, pensions, and Social Security benefits are fully untaxed at the state level. Texas instead relies on sales tax (state base 6.25%, up to 8.25% with local) and relatively high property taxes (~1.4% effective rate on owner-occupied housing) for revenue. Confirmed by Tax Foundation 2026 (one of 9 no-income-tax states). No changes for tax year 2026.
