Worked example

Worked example. Texas has no state income tax, so a $3,000 biweekly paycheck for a single filer carries no state withholding line at all — federal and FICA only.
Federal income tax $320.38 · Social Security $186.00 · Medicare $43.50 · State $0.00 · Take-home $2,450.12

How Texas withholding works

Texas does not impose a state income tax on wages, so there is no state withholding line on your paycheck — your split is federal income tax, Social Security, and Medicare only. The calculator above is pre-set to Texas and shows the state line at $0.00.
