Take-Home Pay in Top States and Cities
Compare your net (after-tax) pay for a monthly salary of $850 ($10,200 annually) across various states. Take-home pay is your gross income minus federal payroll taxes (FICA and Medicare) plus applicable state income taxes. States without state income tax offer the highest net pay due to fewer deductions.
Calculations assume full-time work (12 months per year) and single filer status.

1 | Texas | $9,324 | No state income tax; FICA ($633) and Medicare ($148) deducted. |
