What the ranking shows
- The nine no-income-tax states tie for first. Alaska, Florida, Nevada, New Hampshire, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Wyoming all leave you with $61,593 — federal tax and FICA are identical everywhere, so with no state tax the net is too.
- The gap is real money. Between the top and bottom of the table sits $5,989 a year — about $230 every biweekly paycheck, from state taxes alone.
- Sticker rates mislead. States with high top brackets aren't always expensive at $75,000 — what matters is the bracket structure and deductions at your income, which is exactly what each state calculator models.
- Local taxes are extra. City income taxes (Detroit, NYC, Philadelphia, many Ohio municipalities) come on top of these numbers — check the local-tax notes on your state's page.
