How the Tennessee salary calculator works
This Tennessee paycheck calculator starts from your gross pay, subtracts pre-tax deductions such as 401(k) and HSA contributions, then applies the 2025 federal standard deduction and marginal brackets. Social Security is withheld at 6.2% up to the annual wage base and Medicare at 1.45% (plus 0.9% on wages above $200,000). Finally, Tennessee state income tax is applied to your state taxable income.
Tennessee state income tax
Tennessee has no tax on wages or salaries.
With no state income tax, Tennessee workers keep more of each paycheck than workers in high-tax states at the same salary. Federal income tax and FICA still apply.

Contributing to a 401(k), HSA, or FSA lowers your taxable wages, which reduces both federal and Tennessee income tax. Adjusting your W-4 allowances so you are not over-withheld also raises each paycheck instead of your refund. Try different pre-tax percentages in the calculator to see the effect.
