Every paycheck has the same federal deductions regardless of where you live: federal income tax (10–37% marginal brackets), Social Security (6.2% up to $176,100), and Medicare (1.45%). State income tax is layered on top — and that's where the variation kicks in.
No-tax states like Texas, Florida, and Nevada charge $0 in state income tax. A $100,000 salary in Texas nets roughly $74,000/year after federal taxes and FICA alone. The same salary in California — with a 9.3% state rate — nets around $65,000. That's nearly a $9,000 annual difference from state taxes alone.
Flat-rate states like Illinois (4.95%), Colorado (4.4%), and Indiana (3.05%) apply the same percentage to all income — simpler to plan for than progressive brackets.
Progressive states use tiered brackets similar to the federal system. California's brackets range from 1% to 13.3%. New York tops out at 10.9%. The exact effective rate you pay depends on your total income and deductions.
