Rows shaded green have no state income tax on wages. † marks a state whose figures are still pending verification against its revenue department. ‡ marks a state whose figure is STATE TAX ONLY: Maryland also levies a local income tax (2.25%–3.30%) on the same income, so it ranks higher here than the full bill warrants. Sorting is by annual net pay; choose any column header to re-sort. Figures exclude local and city income taxes, and assume 26 paychecks a year.

Reading this table

Federal income tax and FICA are identical in every state — on $75,000 for a single filer they take $13,408 in 2026. The entire spread between states is state income tax: from $0 in the 9 no-tax states to $5,059 in Oregon among the states we cover — a difference of about $195 per bi-weekly paycheck.

A no-tax state is not automatically cheaper to live in. Texas and New Hampshire raise revenue through above-average property taxes, and Washington through sales tax. This table isolates the paycheck effect only.

Frequently asked questions

Which state has the highest take-home pay on $75,000?

Among the 41 states we currently cover, the 9 with no income tax on wages tie for the highest take-home pay: $61,593 a year for a single filer in 2026. Federal income tax and FICA are identical everywhere, so state income tax is the only difference.

Does a no-tax state mean more money overall?

Not necessarily. States without an income tax raise revenue in other ways — property taxes in Texas and New Hampshire, sales tax in Washington. This table isolates the paycheck effect only; it is not a cost-of-living comparison.

Are local and city income taxes included?

No. New York City, Philadelphia and many Indiana and Ohio municipalities levy their own income taxes on top of the state rate. Those are not modelled here, so the real gap can be wider than the table shows.
