Frequently asked questions
Which states have no income tax?
Nine states levy no tax on wage income: Alaska, Florida, Nevada, New Hampshire, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Washington, Wyoming. You still owe federal income tax and FICA everywhere, and some of these states charge other employee payroll levies — Washington, for instance, deducts Paid Family & Medical Leave and WA Cares premiums.
Which state gives the highest take-home pay?
On a $100,000 salary, Florida tops the table at $79,180 a year, alongside the other no-income-tax states. The gap to the bottom of the table is $7,899 a year.
How accurate are these calculations?
They use published 2026 federal brackets, the FICA wage base, and each state's own rate schedule, standard deduction and personal exemption, plus city taxes and state payroll levies where they apply. They assume the standard deduction, W-2 wage income and full-year residency, so itemised deductions and tax credits are not included.
Do these figures include Social Security and Medicare?
Yes. Social Security is 6.2% on the first $176,100 of wages in 2026 and Medicare is 1.45% on everything, with an extra 0.9% above $200,000. Both are shown as separate lines in every breakdown.
Estimates for informational purposes only. Figures assume the standard deduction, W-2 wage income and full-year residency, and exclude credits, itemised deductions and employer benefits. Not tax advice.
