Subtract federal income tax
The IRS uses progressive brackets from 10% to 37%. The 2025 standard deduction of $14,600 (single) reduces your taxable income first.
Subtract FICA taxes
Social Security (6.2% on the first $176,100) and Medicare (1.45% on all wages). These are federal and apply in every state.
Result: Your take-home pay
The remaining amount is your net pay — what you actually receive in your bank account each pay period.

Your marginal tax rate is the rate on your last dollar earned, while your effective tax rate is the average rate on all income. In Texas, the marginal rate is 0%, but your effective rate is always lower because lower brackets are taxed at lower rates.
