Texas Hourly Wage Tax FAQ
What is $20 an hour after taxes in Texas?
About $35,000-$36,000 net per year for a single full-time worker, since Texas has no state income tax - only federal tax and 7.65% FICA come out. The calculator above gives your exact figure.
Is overtime taxed in Texas?
Overtime has federal tax and FICA withheld, but no Texas state tax. Time-and-a-half raises gross pay and can move part of your income into a higher federal bracket.
Are there local income taxes in Texas?
No. No Texas city or county levies an income tax on wages, so the hourly calculator applies federal tax and FICA only.
Methodology & Source
Texas state tax figures sourced from Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts (https://comptroller.texas.gov/), citing Tex. Const. art. VIII, § 24 (voter-approved 2019 ban on a state personal income tax). Federal brackets, standard deductions (single/MFJ/HoH), and FICA constants sourced from the IRS (Revenue Procedure 2025-32; married-filing-jointly Additional Medicare threshold of $250,000 is a separate, unindexed statutory figure). Texas's married-filing-jointly and head-of-household figures have been independently verified against the source above.
This is an estimate based on standard single-filer federal and FICA calculations. Actual withholding may differ based on your W-4 elections, pre-tax deductions (401k, health insurance), and other factors.
