Texas Overtime Rules & No State Income Tax

Texas follows federal Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) rules for overtime and has no state income tax, which can result in higher take-home pay compared to other states.

Federal Overtime Rules Apply

Texas does not have state-specific overtime laws. Employers must follow the federal FLSA, which requires overtime pay of 1.5x the regular rate for hours worked beyond 40 hours per week.

No State Income Tax

Texas is one of the states with no state income tax. This means your paycheck only has federal income tax, Social Security, and Medicare deducted—potentially resulting in higher take-home pay.

Weekly Overtime Calculation

Unlike some states (such as California), Texas does not require daily overtime. Overtime is calculated on a weekly basis only. Working 10 hours in one day does not automatically trigger overtime pay if total weekly hours stay under 40.

Exemptions May Apply

Certain employees may be exempt from overtime, including executive, administrative, and professional employees who meet specific salary and duties tests under federal law.

Key Takeaway: In Texas, your paycheck benefits from no state income tax, and overtime follows the straightforward federal 40-hour weekly threshold—making paycheck calculations simpler than in states with daily overtime requirements.

Worked Example: $60,000 Salary in Texas

See how a $60,000 annual salary converts to hourly, weekly, and monthly pay in Texas, with no state income tax affecting your paycheck.

Scenario

Annual Salary

$60,000

Hours per Week

40

Weeks per Year

52

Step-by-Step Calculation

Hourly Rate$60,000 ÷ 52 ÷ 40 = $28.85/hour
Weekly Pay$60,000 ÷ 52 = $1,153.85/week
Monthly Pay$60,000 ÷ 12 = $5,000.00/month

Overtime Example (5 extra hours)

Overtime Rate (1.5x)$28.85 × 1.5 = $43.27/hour
Overtime Pay (5 hours)$43.27 × 5 = $216.35
Total Weekly Paycheck (45 hrs)$1,153.85 + $216.35 = $1,370.20

Texas Advantage: With no state income tax, your gross paycheck of $1,153.85/week (or $1,370.20 with overtime) will have a smaller tax burden compared to states like California or New York, leaving more money in your pocket.
