Take-Home Pay in Top States and Cities
Use this section to compare net (after-tax) pay for a $157 daily wage ($40,820 annually) across various states. Take-home pay is the income left after deducting federal payroll taxes (FICA and Medicare) and any applicable state income tax. States without state income tax provide the highest net pay.
The calculations are based on 260 workdays per year and assume a single filer status.
Rank | State | Estimated annual take-home pay | Notes |
---|---|---|---|
1 | Texas | $37,392 | No state income tax; only FICA ($2,535) and Medicare ($592) deducted. |
2 | Florida | $37,392 | No state income tax; FICA and Medicare contributions only. |
3 | Washington | $37,392 | No state income tax; FICA and Medicare contributions only. |
4 | Nevada | $37,392 | No state income tax; FICA and Medicare contributions only. |
5 | Alaska | $37,392 | No state income tax; FICA and Medicare contributions only. |

9 | Wyoming | $37,392 | No state income tax; FICA and Medicare contributions only. |
10 | South Dakota | $37,392 | No state income tax; FICA and Medicare contributions only. |
States without a state income tax (Texas, Florida, Washington, Nevada, Alaska, Tennessee, Wyoming and South Dakota) offer the highest take-home pay — approximately $37,392 annually (about $720 per week after FICA and Medicare deductions).
In North Carolina, the after-tax salary decreases to $35,789, and in New York it further reduces to $35,350 due to higher combined state and city taxes.
When evaluating salary offers, it’s important to weigh both take-home pay and local living costs; states without income tax aren’t always the most affordable.
