Take-home pay per paycheck in Texas
The same annual pay lands differently depending on how often you are paid. Net amounts per paycheck, after federal tax, FICA:
| Annual salary | Weekly | Every 2 weeks | Twice a month | Monthly |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| $50,000 | $814.52 | $1,629.04 | $1,764.79 | $3,529.58 |
| $75,000 | $1,184.47 | $2,368.94 | $2,566.35 | $5,132.71 |
| $100,000 | $1,522.69 | $3,045.38 | $3,299.17 | $6,598.33 |
“Twice a month” is 24 paychecks a year and “every 2 weeks” is 26, which is why the two amounts differ even though the annual pay is identical.

How Texas taxes wage income
Texas does not tax wage income, so nothing is withheld for state income tax.
Rates on this page come from Texas Constitution, which prohibits a personal income tax. Federal brackets, the Social Security wage base, and Medicare rates are the 2026 figures.
