How to Calculate Your Texas Biweekly Paycheck After Taxes
A biweekly paycheck means you are paid every two weeks — 26 times per year. To calculate your Texas biweekly take-home pay, divide your annual salary by 26 to get gross pay per period, then subtract federal income tax (based on 2026 IRS brackets), Social Security (6.2%), and Medicare (1.45%). Because Texas has no state income tax, those are your only deductions.
For example, a single filer earning $52,000/year receives a biweekly gross of $2,000. After federal income tax (~$183) and FICA (~$153), the net biweekly paycheck is approximately $1,664. Use the calculator above to enter your exact salary and filing status.
If you are paid hourly, use our Texas hourly paycheck calculator instead. For annual salary comparisons, see the Texas salary calculator.
Biweekly vs. Semi-Monthly Pay in Texas
Biweekly (26 checks/year) and semi-monthly (24 checks/year) are often confused. Biweekly paychecks are slightly smaller because you receive two extra per year. For the same $52,000 salary, a biweekly paycheck is $2,000 gross vs. $2,166.67 semi-monthly. The annual take-home is identical — only the per-period amount differs.
