    Social Security (6.2%) and Medicare (1.45%) are flat taxes withheld at the rates noted.

    Texas has no state income taxes, so no worry there.

    For federal income tax, the first $8,800 is not taxed.

    Then about the next $8,000 is taxed at 10%.

    Then the next $25,000 is taxed at 15%.

    Then the next $48,000 is taxed at 25%.

    Then the next $85,000 is taxed at 28%.

    That represents about $175K in salary. If you make more than that, let me know.
