How Tennessee Taxes Affect Your Paycheck
Tennessee does not tax wage income at the state level, so most employees have no state income tax withholding on their paychecks.
The former Hall Tax on certain investment income was fully repealed in 2021, simplifying personal income taxes for residents.
With no state wage tax, your primary paycheck deductions are federal income tax and FICA, along with any benefits and retirement contributions.
Tennessee Income Tax Brackets (2026)
Tennessee does not levy state income tax on wages, so state wage withholding is generally $0.
Other Tennessee Payroll Taxes
Tennessee has no state wage income tax and no local wage income taxes. Most withholding differences come from federal elections and employer benefit deductions.
Federal Payroll Taxes Still Apply
No matter which state you live in, paychecks include federal income tax withholding plus FICA taxes. For most workers in 2026, FICA equals 6.2% Social Security (up to the wage base) and 1.45% Medicare on all wages.
Higher earners may also pay Additional Medicare Tax (0.9%) above the federal threshold. This page's example uses standard single-filer assumptions for a quick benchmark.
