Hourly paychecks in Texas
Texas has no state income tax, so an hourly worker's paycheck is reduced only by federal income tax, Social Security (6.2% up to $184,500 of wages in 2026), and Medicare (1.45%). At $25 an hour for 40 hours a week — $1,000 of weekly gross pay — a single filer takes home about $845 a week.
Enter your hourly rate and hours per week above. The calculator converts them to a gross amount for the pay frequency you pick, then applies exactly the same 2026 federal and state withholding methods as the salary pages. If your hours change from week to week, run the numbers for your typical week — and remember that a big overtime week is withheld as if that higher pay lasted all year, which is why overtime checks look heavily taxed (the difference comes back when you file).
Frequently asked questions
- How much is $25 an hour after taxes in Texas?
- At 40 hours a week ($52,000 a year), a single filer with no pre-tax deductions takes home about $845 a week, or roughly $43,962 a year, in 2026. Federal income tax is about $78 a week and FICA about $76.50.
- Does Texas tax overtime pay?
- Texas adds no tax at all. Federally, overtime is taxed like regular wages, but withholding on a high-overtime check is figured as if you earned that much every week, so the percentage withheld can look steep.
- Is there a minimum wage difference in Texas?
- Texas uses the federal minimum wage of $7.25 an hour. Whatever your rate, only federal taxes come out of a Texas paycheck.
