How Tennessee paycheck tax works
Tennessee levies no state personal income tax on wages. The former Hall tax on interest and dividends was fully repealed in 2021, so no personal income of any kind is taxed by the state. No state tax is withheld from any paycheck, including overtime and bonuses.
To estimate your paycheck, the calculator annualizes your pay and applies federal income tax and FICA. Tennessee adds no state income tax of its own. Read it as a close estimate: your employer's payroll can land a little differently, since it may use exact per-period tables.
