- No. Texas has no state income tax. so only federal income tax and FICA (Social Security and Medicare) come out of your hourly paycheck.
- How accurate is this Texas hourly paycheck calculator?
- It's a close estimate, but it doesn't model local (city/county) taxes, tax credits, or every deduction, and rates change over time. Your actual pay stub is the source of truth.
