Paycheck taxes in Tennessee

Tennessee has no state income tax on wages or capital gains for tax year 2025. Its former Hall Tax on interest and dividends was fully repealed as of 2021, so investment income is also untaxed. The state relies on one of the nation's highest combined sales tax burdens (7% state rate plus local rates) in place of an income tax.

Common questions

Does Tennessee have a state income tax?

How much is withheld from a paycheck in Tennessee?
Every paycheck has federal income tax, Social Security (6.2% up to the wage base), and Medicare (1.45%) withheld. Enter your salary above for the exact breakdown.
