Tax Savings Estimator

How This Tax Savings Estimator Works

This tool gives you a quick, directional estimate of how much you could save each year through smarter tax planning. It looks at your income, filing status, and current effective tax rate, then models the impact of common tax-reduction strategies — like maximizing pre-tax retirement contributions, using an HSA, and choosing the right account types — to estimate the difference between what you pay today and what an optimized plan might look like. It's an educational starting point, not a filing tool.

Most families overpay taxes not because of anything illegal, but simply because no one walked them through the legal strategies available to them. The biggest levers are usually timing and account choice: contributing to tax-advantaged accounts before year-end, harvesting investment losses, and deciding between Roth and traditional accounts based on your bracket today versus in retirement. Texas helps here too — with no state income tax, your planning focuses on the federal side, though Texas property taxes are among the nation's highest and worth factoring in.

For the specific moves that matter this year, read our 5 tax strategies every Texas family should know. High earners who've maxed their 401(k) and Roth IRA sometimes add an indexed universal life (IUL) policy for additional tax-advantaged growth.
