What's specific to Tennessee
How Tennessee taxes your paycheck
- Tennessee never taxed wages, and its Hall tax on interest and dividends ended in 2021. There is no state disability or paid-leave deduction.
- Your take-home pay depends on federal income tax (10% to 37%), Social Security (6.2% up to $184,500) and Medicare (1.45%, plus 0.9% on high wages).
- Pre-tax 401(k) contributions and health premiums still lower your federal tax, so they matter as much here as anywhere.
Tennessee has no tax on wages (the Hall tax on investment income ended in 2021) and no employee-paid state payroll contribution.
