Planning-only estimate: federal income tax (IRS-style brackets + standard deduction) plus a flat 0.0% state income tax on gross for Texas. Excludes FICA (Social Security and Medicare), local taxes, and paycheck deductions—compare with your actual pay stub.
Federal income tax is estimated with progressive brackets after the standard deduction for the chosen status and year.
Texas state tax is approximated as a flat 0.0% of gross (pilot assumption—not a full state return).
Net ≈ gross − estimated federal tax − estimated state tax; then divided into monthly / biweekly / weekly for display.
The page title uses “paycheck” loosely for take-home after income taxes only. It is not payroll advice: real paychecks include FICA, local taxes, pre-tax deductions, and withholding adjustments.
This paycheck calculator applies the formulas described on this page to the values you enter. Outputs are not financial, tax, legal, or medical advice.

No. This tool only subtracts estimated federal income tax and a simple flat state income tax assumption from gross. Real paychecks also withhold FICA, may include local taxes, and depend on your W-4 and benefits.
These state pages apply one transparent percentage on gross income—not a full state tax return, credits, or local add-ons.
Treat them as rough splits of the estimated annual net after the modeled taxes only. Compare with your pay stub or payroll provider for withholding-accurate amounts.
