How do I calculate my hourly paycheck in Texas?
Multiply your hourly rate by the hours you worked for the pay period, adding overtime at 1.5 times your rate for hours over 40 in a week. That is your gross pay; then federal income tax, Social Security and Medicare are subtracted. The calculator above does this for you.
How accurate is this paycheck calculator?
It uses the IRS's Publication 15-T percentage method and the current year's Social Security, Medicare and state rates, the same tax engine as our pay stub generator. It's an estimate: your employer's payroll system, benefits timing and local taxes can change the exact number by a few dollars.
