How state income tax changes your paycheck

Most paychecks in the United States lose the same federal pieces: federal income tax withholding, Social Security at 6.2% up to the yearly wage base, and Medicare at 1.45%. The part that changes when you move is state income tax. A state can tax wages at a single flat rate, use graduated brackets like the federal system, or not tax wages at all. On the same salary, that one line can move take-home pay by several thousand dollars a year.

In this calculator, 9 states have no tax on wages, 15 use one flat rate and 27 (counting the District of Columbia) use graduated brackets, which the estimate turns into a simplified rate for typical incomes.

States with no income tax on wages

Alaska, Florida, Nevada, New Hampshire, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Washington, and Wyoming. Workers here still pay federal income tax and FICA. Some of these states raise revenue in other ways, such as higher sales or property taxes, which a paycheck calculator does not show.

Flat-rate states

Arizona, Colorado, Georgia, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Michigan, Mississippi, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Utah. A flat rate makes the state line easy to predict: the same percentage applies to taxable wages after the state's own deductions or exemptions.

Taxes the state pages do not include

Some cities and counties add their own wage tax, for example New York City, Philadelphia, many Ohio municipalities and Maryland counties. A few states also withhold for disability or family leave insurance, such as California SDI. These items are left out of the estimate, so check your pay stub for them.

How to use the state pages

Open your state above. Each page shows the state's rate and minimum wage, a sample paycheck on a $75,000 salary, and a calculator where you enter your own salary, pay frequency and filing status. Use the state where you work; if you live in a different state, your employer may withhold for both. For bonuses, overtime or a raise, the paycheck calculator links to the dedicated tools.
