How This Calculator Works

On a $75,000 salary paid every two weeks, each Tennessee paycheck starts at $2,885. About $295 goes to federal income tax, $221 to Social Security and Medicare and nothing to the state, leaving about $2,369 before any 401(k), insurance or other deductions.

Because Tennessee has no income tax, a worker here keeps about $100 more per paycheck than in the typical state, or $2,596 a year.

No neighboring state leaves more. Next to Virginia, the neighbor that takes the most, a Tennessee paycheck on the same salary is about $135 larger, $3,498 over a year.

A real Tennessee pay stub can differ a little from these figures, because the estimate spreads the year's tax evenly across your paychecks instead of using your employer's withholding tables.
