Take-Home Pay in Top States and Cities
Compare your net (after-tax) pay for a $59 daily wage ($15,340 annually) across various states. Net pay means your gross salary after federal payroll taxes (FICA and Medicare) and applicable state income taxes are deducted. States that do not levy state income taxes allow you to keep more of your income.
The estimations assume 260 workdays annually and single filing status.
Rank | State | Estimated annual take-home pay | Notes |
---|---|---|---|
1 | Texas | $14,040 | No state income tax; only FICA ($954) and Medicare ($223) deducted. |
2 | Florida | $14,040 | No state income tax; only FICA and Medicare deducted. |
3 | Washington | $14,040 | No state income tax; only FICA and Medicare deducted. |

9 | Wyoming | $14,040 | No state income tax; only FICA and Medicare deducted. |
10 | South Dakota | $14,040 | No state income tax; only FICA and Medicare deducted. |
States without a state income tax (Texas, Florida, Washington, Nevada, Alaska, Tennessee, Wyoming, and South Dakota) provide the highest take-home pay, approximately $14,040 annually (~$270 weekly after payroll taxes).
In North Carolina, take-home pay reduces to $13,430, and in New York, further drops to $13,270 due to higher state and local taxes.
When evaluating job offers, consider both taxes and local living costs since tax-free status doesn’t always equate to cheaper living.
