States without income tax yield the highest take-home pay — about $17,743 annually (approximately $342 per week after taxes).
In North Carolina, net earnings fall to $16,935, and in New York to $16,737 due to additional local taxes.
Consider both take-home pay and cost of living when evaluating job offers; low-tax states may not always be the most affordable places to live.
