Why it differs
- Federal income tax and FICA are the same everywhere: the difference is state income tax, which ranges from none to over 10%.
- Nine states have no tax on wages, but some make up for it with higher sales or property taxes.
- City and county income taxes, such as New York City’s, aren’t included here.
Assumptions in this estimate
- A salaried employee with no pre-tax deductions or dependants, before any local income taxes.
- Tax rate is all income tax and payroll taxes as a share of your salary.
