How It Works

State income taxes vary dramatically: Texas, Florida, and Nevada have no state income tax, while California tops out at 13.3%. However, no-tax states often have higher property taxes or sales taxes. Cost of living also matters — a $80,000 salary in Texas has more purchasing power than $80,000 in New York City. Always compare the after-tax, COL-adjusted income.
