What this calculator includes
Texas does not impose an individual state personal income tax. This calculator therefore combines estimated 2026 federal withholding with employee Social Security and Medicare; state income-tax withholding is shown as $0.
Important methodology note
Federal withholding is estimated with the 2026 IRS automated payroll percentage-method framework for a basic 2020-or-later Form W-4. State amounts are clearly identified as state-specific estimates; this tool is not a substitute for an employer payroll system or tax return.
