Tennessee income tax rates for 2026

Tennessee has no state income tax on wages, so the only taxes taken from a regular paycheck are federal income tax, Social Security (6.2%) and Medicare (1.45%).

What comes out of a Tennessee paycheck

Tennessee has no tax on wages; its former Hall tax on interest and dividends was fully repealed in 2021.

Every US worker also pays federal income tax (10% to 37% after the 2026 standard deduction of $16,100 single or $32,200 married), Social Security tax of 6.2% on wages up to $184,500, and Medicare tax of 1.45% on all wages (plus 0.9% above $200,000). Traditional 401(k) contributions and employer health premiums are taken out before income tax, which lowers your tax bill.
