Take-Home Pay by State

The same salary lands differently depending on where you live. Nine states levy no income tax at all, a handful use a single flat rate, and a few — New York and Pennsylvania among them — let cities add a tax of their own.

$60,000 in California
Gross pay$60,000
Take-home pay$48,037
$60,000 in California leaves $48,037; the same $60,000 in Texas leaves $50,390, $2,353 more.

51 jurisdictions, not one national table. Each state runs its own brackets, its own local layer and its own treatment of wages.

How the three systems differ

No income tax (9 states)

Alaska, Florida, Nevada, New Hampshire, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Washington, Wyoming. No state income tax does not mean no state tax — these states fund themselves through property and sales taxes, and the burden shows up outside the paycheck.

Flat rate (15 states)

Arizona, Colorado, Georgia, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Louisiana, Michigan, Mississippi, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Utah. One rate applies to all taxable wages, which makes the arithmetic simple but removes the progressive structure.

Progressive (27 states)

Alabama, Arkansas, California, Connecticut, Delaware, District of Columbia, Hawaii, Kansas, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Oregon, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Vermont, Virginia, West Virginia, Wisconsin. Brackets work the same way as federal ones: only income above each threshold is taxed at that band's rate.
