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 tax 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.
Are these the 2025 or 2026 tax brackets?
The calculator uses tax year 2025 federal brackets — the figures you'll use to file in early 2026. The IRS adjusts brackets annually for inflation; we update when 2026 figures are released.
Should I take the standard deduction or itemize?
Take whichever is larger. The 2025 standard deduction (as boosted by the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, July 2025) is $15,750 (single), $31,500 (married filing jointly), or $23,625 (head of household). Itemize if your mortgage interest, state and local taxes (capped at $10,000), and charitable donations exceed that amount.
