Tennessee paycheck FAQs

Does Tennessee still have the Hall income tax?

No. The Hall tax applied only to interest and dividend income (never wages) and was phased down from 6% before being fully repealed on January 1, 2021. Tennessee now has no personal income tax of any kind.

What comes out of a Tennessee paycheck?

Federal deductions only: income tax withholding based on your W-4, Social Security (6.2% up to $184,500 in 2026), and Medicare (1.45%, plus 0.9% over $200,000).

How does Tennessee fund itself without an income tax?

Mainly through one of the highest combined sales tax rates in the country (7% state plus local rates that bring many areas near 9.75%). You pay at the register, not on your pay stub.
