About Texas paychecks & taxes
Texas is one of nine states with no personal income tax, so your paycheck is only reduced by federal income tax and FICA (Social Security and Medicare). On the same salary, that typically means noticeably higher take-home pay than in a state like California or New York.
Texas funds itself through higher property and sales taxes instead, so the 'no income tax' advantage is partly offset if you own a home. Still, for renters and high earners, Texas is one of the most tax-friendly states for take-home pay, which is why it's a top relocation destination.
