Does anyone know what the State and Federal tax percentages are for Texas?

I am from Texas and I am about to start my first job. I was wondering how much of my monthly pay check goes to the government (I guess just a total percentage) Thanks!

1. Federal, same as other states. State, zero. No Texas income tax.
2. Federal income tax rates are universal regardless of where you live. TX has no income tax so none will be withheld. Go here for some handy tax estimators: http://www.paycheckcity.com
3. A ballpark figure is about 25% depending on your filing status. They take out income tax, social security tax,and medicare tax. Plus anything else you may be having withheld such as insurance payments, etc. A lot depends on your gross income and filing status.
4. Hello, Texas does not have a state tax. The 2007 Federal Tax Rates can be found here: http://www.irs.gov/formspubs/article/0,,id=164272,00.html. These rates are separated by whether you are filing as Single, Married Filing Joint, Head of Household.
5. Hi, It will depend on your filing status (Single, Married, etc) and how many dependents you claim for Federal Income Tax. You can plan on 7.65% deducted for Social Security and Medicaid. Easiest way to find the Federal Income tax amount is go to their website, www.irs.gov Congrats on the job.
6. 7.65 for social security and medicare Federal depends on your income so not enough info Texas has no state income tax Go to paycheckcity.com and enter your info, and you'll get a pretty good estimate
7. There no state income taxes taken out of your check for the State of Texas. Talk to your payroll clerk at work regarding your federal taxes.
8. Fed is flat, for all states. Texas has NO state income tax. That's why we have such a high purchase tax, and an even higher tax on hotel rooms.
