Why your state matters
Everyone in the US pays the same federal income tax, Social Security and Medicare. What changes from state to state is state income tax, which ranges from nothing at all to more than 10% for high earners, plus extra payroll deductions in a few states and city taxes in some places.
On a $75,000 salary, the difference between a no-tax state like Texas and a higher-tax state like California is more than $3,500 a year.
States with no income tax on wages
Alaska, Florida, Nevada, New Hampshire, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Washington and Wyoming don't tax wages. These states usually rely more on sales and property taxes instead.
Flat-tax states
States such as Arizona (2.5%), Ohio (2.75% above $26,050), Indiana (2.95%), Pennsylvania (3.07%), North Carolina (3.99%), Michigan (4.25%), Colorado (4.4%), Illinois (4.95%), Georgia (4.99%) and Massachusetts (5%) charge one rate on all taxable income. Ohio, Indiana, North Carolina and Georgia all cut their rates for 2026.
States with extra payroll deductions
A few states take more than income tax: California (SDI), New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Washington and Colorado all charge workers for disability or paid family leave insurance, and Maryland, Indiana, Pennsylvania, Ohio and Michigan have county or city income taxes.
