How Texas taxes income
Texas does not tax wage income. That puts it among the 9 states with no individual income tax, and it means your state line on a pay stub here is zero — federal withholding and FICA are the whole story.
The revenue comes from somewhere else. Texas property tax runs about 1.80% of assessed value — 7th highest of 51 states. On a $400,000 home that is roughly $7,200 a year, so the no-income-tax advantage narrows considerably once you buy rather than rent.
What actually reaches your account
Rough take-home at three common salary levels: $50,000 gross leaves roughly $41,175 after federal, FICA and no state tax; $80,000 gross leaves roughly $63,480 after federal, FICA and no state tax; $120,000 gross leaves roughly $91,620 after federal, FICA and no state tax. These use standard-deduction assumptions and no pre-tax contributions — a 401(k) or HSA lowers both federal and state tax and moves these numbers up.
Cost of living matters as much as the tax rate. Texas runs about 3% below the national average, so $80,000 here has the purchasing power of roughly $82,474 at national-average prices. A lower-tax state with higher housing costs can leave you worse off in real terms.
