At $4.75 an hour, what is your weekly, monthly, and yearly salary?
Take-Home Pay in Top States and Cities
Compare the net (after-tax) pay for a $4.75 hourly wage across various states. The take-home pay is calculated by subtracting federal payroll taxes (FICA and Medicare) as well as any applicable state income tax from the gross earnings. States without state income tax have the highest net pay since only FICA and Medicare are deducted.
States imposing income tax will show reduced net salaries. These amounts assume full-time employment at 40 hours per week for 52 weeks per year under a single filer status.

---|---|---|---|
1 | Texas | $9,118 | No state income tax; only FICA ($360) and Medicare ($84) are deducted. |
