How the Self-Employed Tax Calculator Math Works Under Texas Law
Your Texas self-employed tax calculator stacks federal and state income tax onto FICA (Social Security 6.2% + Medicare 1.45%). Texas is one of the handful of US states with no personal income tax — your liability on the state side is $0 regardless of income[1].
Calc-specific note: SE tax = 15.3% of 92.35% of net SE income; deduct half from gross before federal + state income tax.
Worked example — Texas
A Texas self-employed earner at $100,000 net SE income pays 15.3% SE tax on 92.35% ($14,130), deducts half ($7,065) from gross, then owes federal income tax on $85,870 plus zero state. Quarterly estimates to IRS + Texas Dept of Revenue are required.
