In Texas, if you are working for minimum wage with no dependents approximately how much will they take out of the payment.

I have to make 600$ a month I'm trying to figure out how many hours I should work.

Minimum wage is $7.25. You can figure around $50-$75 being taken out in taxes in a bi-weekly check. I usually just plan on $100 being taken out. So ...
$600 + $200 (being taken out in taxes in one month) = $800 (that you need to gross)
$800/ $7.25 = 110.3448, so we'll say 111. That's how many hours you need in one month to bring home $600.
So 111/ 4 = 27.75. So you need roughly 28 hours in one week, to bring home $600 a month.
