Tennessee Take-Home Pay Calculator (2026)

Tennessee is one of 9 states with no state income tax, so a paycheck here loses nothing to state withholding — only federal income tax and FICA (Social Security and Medicare) come out before you're paid. Tennessee charges a 7.00% state sales tax, and its roughly 9.61% average combined rate is the second-highest in the nation. Tennessee pairs heavy sales-tax reliance with a low effective property-tax rate of about 0.52%.
