Tennessee take-home pay calculator

Tennessee does not tax wage income. Federal tax, Social Security and Medicare still apply.

What people get wrong about Tennessee

Tennessee has never taxed earned income. The Hall income tax that older guides still mention reached interest and dividends only, never wages, and it was repealed outright on 1 January 2021, so there is nothing left for a payroll calculator to apply in any tax year. Tennessee also levies no employee-paid disability, paid-leave or unemployment contribution, and neither does any of its neighbours in the South. A Tennessee paycheck meets federal income tax, Social Security and Medicare, and stops there.

How Tennessee taxes wages

Tennessee levies no income tax on wages, so there is no state bracket schedule and no state standard deduction to apply.

What else Tennessee withholds

Tennessee withholds no employee-paid programme on top of its income tax.
