Because Texas levies no state income tax, residents keep more of every dollar earned. On a $60,000 salary, a Texas resident avoids thousands of dollars in state taxes compared to peers in high-tax states — money that can go directly toward extra loan payments. This higher effective take-home makes it faster and cheaper to eliminate student debt here than in states with high income taxes.
