Texas is one of the nine states with no state income tax, so none of your paycheck goes to a state income tax. That's a meaningful advantage — on this salary you keep everything a resident of a high-tax state would lose to state withholding. These numbers cover state income tax only; local taxes, if any apply to your city, would come on top.
