How each Texas line is calculated
Texas has no state individual income tax, so this app emits no Texas state income tax deduction line. Texas unemployment tax is employer-paid and appears only on the calculator side of the matrix.
| Line | Who pays | Rate | Wage base |
|---|---|---|---|

TX UI
Texas unemployment tax is employer-paid. New employers generally begin at 2.7% on the first $9,000 of wages per employee, while established employers use the assigned Texas Workforce Commission contribution rate shown on their annual tax-rate notice.

Some employer-side state taxes depend on employer size, assigned unemployment rates, or program elections. Review the line notes before relying on those totals.
