Tennessee is one of nine US states with no personal income tax on wages. The state fully repealed its older Hall Tax on investment income, so workers now keep their full salary aside from federal and FICA taxes. This Tennessee paycheck calculator shows your real 2026 take-home pay.

How Tennessee state income tax works

Tennessee does not tax wage income. The state previously levied a Hall Tax on interest and dividend income, but that tax has been fully repealed. The State income tax line on your Tennessee paycheck is always $0 — only federal income tax and FICA come out of your wages.

Tennessee funds itself primarily through one of the highest sales tax rates in the country and various business taxes. Because there is no state income tax on wages, your take-home pay on the same gross salary is usually noticeably higher than in nearby Kentucky or North Carolina.
