Pay, Time Off & Work Hour Calculators
Estimate a Texas paycheck for hourly or salary income before comparing the result with your pay stub, Form W-4, benefits, and payroll records. Because Texas is commonly treated as having no broad state wage income tax, this TX paycheck calculator is especially useful for checking federal withholding, FICA, overtime, and deductions. Your actual deposit can still change because of employer payroll setup, benefits, garnishments, bonuses, or local items.
Browser-based estimate
Estimate gross pay, overtime pay, simplified 2026 federal income-tax withholding, FICA, optional deductions, user-entered state income-tax withholding where available, and take-home pay.
Broad Texas individual wage income-tax withholding is fixed at $0 in this simplified estimator. Other state or local payroll items are not calculated automatically.
This calculator provides an estimate only and is not legal, tax, payroll, or financial advice. Pay, time off, final paycheck, and work-hour results can depend on employer policy, payroll records, employment agreement, and official labor guidance.
This TX paycheck calculator is useful for common searches like free paycheck calculator Texas, but it is not a year-specific 2025 tax withholding table. If you are reviewing an older 2025 paycheck, compare the estimate with the pay records and tax year that actually applied.
Texas paychecks are often simpler on the state-income-tax line because the state data marks Texas as having no broad state wage income tax. That does not make the final deposit simple: federal withholding, FICA, benefit deductions, garnishments, reimbursements, bonuses, overtime, and employer payroll settings can still move the number.
The calculator is preselected for Texas. Broad Texas individual wage income-tax withholding is fixed at $0, so the manual state income-tax fields are hidden and disabled. You can still adjust pay type, pay frequency, regular hours, overtime hours, filing status, deduction categories, optional year-to-date FICA wages, and additional federal withholding.
Texas does not have a broad state wage income tax, but federal withholding, benefits, garnishments, and employer payroll setup can still affect take-home pay.
This state is commonly treated as having no broad state wage income tax, but local taxes, payroll deductions, benefits, garnishments, and employer payroll setup can still affect take-home pay.
For current official state tax information, start with the Texas official tax source, then compare that guidance with your employer payroll records.
The federal income-tax line is a simplified 2026 annualized planning estimate, not a full Form W-4 or IRS Publication 15-T payroll calculation.
Social Security and Medicare use current-period FICA wages and optional year-to-date wage inputs. Enter the FICA-exempt portion of pre-tax deductions separately because deductions do not all receive the same payroll-tax treatment.
Example: if a Texas hourly employee earns $28 per hour, works 40 regular hours, and has 4 overtime hours at 1.5x, estimated gross pay is $1,120 regular pay plus $168 overtime pay, or $1,288 before withholding and deductions.
The calculator then subtracts estimated Social Security, Medicare, simplified federal withholding, pre-tax deductions, post-tax deductions, and any additional federal withholding. Broad state individual wage income-tax withholding remains fixed at $0.
Example: a $78,000 annual salary paid biweekly is about $3,000 in regular gross pay before any overtime, withholding, or deductions. If overtime is entered, the calculator estimates an hourly value from a 2,080-hour annual schedule.
Salary estimates are still pay-period estimates. Actual payroll can differ because of benefit deductions, W-4 elections, supplemental pay, unpaid time, or employer payroll adjustments.
This calculator provides a planning estimate only. It is not tax, payroll, legal, HR, accounting, or financial advice.
Before relying on a result, compare it with your pay stub, Form W-4, time records, benefits deductions, payroll messages, and official federal or state guidance where relevant.
