How this is calculated
// Texas has no state income tax, so the formula is simple:
Take-Home Pay = Gross Pay − Federal Withholding − FICA − Pre-tax Deductions
// Federal withholding follows the IRS Pub. 15-T annualized percentage method:
// annualize pay → apply 2026 brackets → divide back into paychecks.
// FICA = 6.2% Social Security (up to the wage cap) + 1.45% Medicare
// + 0.9% Additional Medicare above $200,000 (flat threshold, all filing statuses).
// 401(k) reduces federal taxable wages only. Health/HSA/FSA reduce federal AND FICA wages.
