Income Taxes in Tennessee

Tennessee levies no personal income tax, making it one of just 9 states in the country where your paycheck isn’t reduced by state-level income taxes. This means on a $100,000 salary, you keep roughly $78,890 after federal taxes and FICA — compared to $68,915 in California or $69,215 in New York.

The median household income in Tennessee is $53,000, which translates to roughly $3,726/month take-home after all taxes. With a cost of living index of 90 (below the national average of 100), that income goes further than in many other states.

Tennessee does not impose local income taxes, so the state rate is your only state-level income tax.
