How Paycheck Calculations Work

Your take-home pay is what remains after these deductions:

  • Federal income tax — Based on progressive tax brackets (10% to 37%)
  • State income tax — Varies by state (0% in TX, FL, WA to 13.3% in CA)
  • Social Security — 6.2% up to $176,100 (2026)
  • Medicare — 1.45% (plus 0.9% over $200K)
  • Pre-tax deductions — 401(k), HSA, health insurance

States With No Income Tax

  • Texas
  • Florida
  • Washington
  • Nevada
  • Wyoming
  • South Dakota
  • Alaska
  • Tennessee
  • New Hampshire (dividends only)

Living in these states means higher take-home pay. But some make up revenue through higher sales or property taxes.
