Take-Home Pay in Top States and Cities
Use this section to compare net (after-tax) pay for a $30 hourly wage across different locations. After-tax pay is your gross salary minus federal payroll taxes (FICA and Medicare) and any state income tax. States without state income tax have the highest take-home pay due to only FICA and Medicare deductions.
States with income taxes result in lower net pay. The figures below are based on a full-time schedule of 40 hours per week (52 weeks per year) and single filer status.
