About Texas income tax
Texas has no state income tax. The Texas Constitution explicitly prohibits a personal income tax without voter approval, which is one reason the state is a magnet for high earners and remote workers. The trade-off is one of the highest property tax burdens in the country (effective rate ~1.7% — roughly double the national average) and a 6.25% statewide sales tax (locals add up to 2%). For a single earner making $80,000, that's about $4,000–$5,000 more take-home per year compared with a state like Oklahoma or New Mexico.
- No state income tax — constitutionally restricted

Texas salary FAQ
How much is $80,000 after taxes in Texas?
A single Texas resident earning $80,000 takes home approximately $64,831 per year. Texas has no state income tax, so the only deductions are federal income tax and FICA.
Does Texas have a state income tax?
No. The Texas Constitution prohibits a personal income tax without voter approval. Instead, Texas relies on a 6.25% statewide sales tax (plus local additions up to 2%) and one of the highest property tax burdens in the country (effective rate ~1.7%).
Why is property tax so high in Texas?
Because there's no income tax, Texas funds public schools, county services, and emergency services primarily through property taxes. The effective property tax rate (~1.7%) is roughly double the U.S. median — a major offset to the income-tax savings for homeowners.
How is take-home pay calculated?
Take-home pay is your gross salary minus federal income tax, state income tax, Social Security (6.2% up to the wage base), and Medicare (1.45%, plus 0.9% on income above $200,000 for single filers). Pre-tax deductions like 401(k) contributions and health insurance reduce the taxable portion further.
What's the difference between effective and marginal tax rate?
Your marginal tax rate is the rate on your last dollar earned — the top bracket your income reaches. Your effective rate is total tax divided by gross income, which is always lower than your marginal rate because earlier dollars are taxed at lower brackets.
