Tennessee paycheck calculator 2026 – how it works
A paycheck estimate starts with gross pay for the pay period. Required payroll withholdings are then applied to estimate take-home pay. Federal income tax withholding follows IRS rules, and FICA covers Social Security and Medicare payroll taxes. Tennessee does not require state income tax withholding on earned wages.
Examples
If your gross pay changes from one pay period to another, the amounts withheld for federal tax and FICA will also change. Because Tennessee has no state income tax on wages, state withholding does not affect the estimate.
Limitations and important notes
This calculator provides an estimate of payroll withholding only. Actual paychecks may differ due to employer payroll calculations, rounding, pay frequency, and how federal withholding rules are applied. This estimate should not be treated as final annual tax liability.
