From Wikipedia

Texas fiscal year starts from July 01 the year before to June 30 the current year. So the fiscal year 2021 will start from July 01 2020 to June 30 2021.

Calculating your Texas state income tax is similar to the steps we listed on our Federal paycheck calculator:

1. figure out your filing status
2. work out your adjusted gross income [Total annual income – Adjustments = Adjusted gross income]
3. calculate your taxable income [Adjusted gross income – (Post-tax deductions + Exemptions) = Taxable income]
4. understand your tax liability [Taxable income × Tax rate = Tax liability]
5. determine whether your tax liability is more than your tax credits and withheld
   • Tax liability – (Credits + Withheld) = What you owe or
   • (Credits + Withheld) – Tax liability = Tax refunds
