Net pay represents your gross earnings minus federal payroll taxes (FICA and Medicare) and any applicable state income taxes. States without state income tax provide the highest take-home pay as only federal payroll deductions apply.
States imposing income taxes will show reduced net pay. These estimates assume full-time work (40 hours per week, 52 weeks a year) and single filer status.
