How Texas withholding works

Texas has no state income tax on wages, so nothing comes out of your paycheck for state income tax. Federal income tax, Social Security, and Medicare still apply.

What is the take-home pay on $40,000 a year in Texas?

Is this my annual tax bill?

No. It calculates paycheck withholding: what your employer takes out of each paycheck under IRS Publication 15-T and the state's withholding rules. What you finally owe is settled when you file your tax return.
