At $10.25 an hour, what is your weekly, monthly, and yearly salary?
Take-Home Pay in Top States and Cities
Here you can compare net (after-tax) pay for a $10.25 hourly wage across several U.S. locations. The after-tax amount represents your gross earnings minus federal payroll taxes (FICA and Medicare) and state income taxes where applicable. States without state income tax maximize your take-home pay by only deducting FICA and Medicare.
Note that these numbers assume a full-time schedule of 40 hours per week and single filer tax status.
Rank | State | Estimated take‑home pay | Notes |
---|---|---|---|
1 | Texas | $21,314 | No state income tax; only FICA ($843) and Medicare ($197) deducted. |
2 | Florida | $21,314 | No state income tax; deductions limited to FICA and Medicare. |
3 | Washington | $21,314 | No state income tax; only federal payroll taxes deducted. |
4 | Nevada | $21,314 | No state income tax; payroll taxes deducted only. |
5 | Alaska | $21,314 | Exempt from state income tax; FICA and Medicare deducted. |
6 | Tennessee | $21,314 | No state income tax; federal payroll taxes apply. |
7 | North Carolina | $20,461 | After-tax salary with state income tax deducted. |
8 | New York | $20,109 | Higher state income tax reduces take-home pay. |
9 | Wyoming | $21,314 | No state income tax; only federal payroll taxes. |
10 | South Dakota | $21,314 | No state income tax; FICA and Medicare deducted only. |
States that do not levy state income tax (like Texas, Florida, Washington, Nevada, Alaska, Tennessee, Wyoming, and South Dakota) have the highest take-home pay of approximately $21,314 after federal payroll taxes.
In North Carolina, your take-home pay decreases to around $20,461 due to state taxes, and in New York, it falls further to about $20,109 because of higher tax rates.
When evaluating job offers, keep in mind both take-home salary and the cost of living in each location; higher salaries may coincide with increased living expenses.
