Frequently asked questions

Which states have no income tax on wages?

Texas, Florida, Washington, Nevada, Tennessee, Alaska, New Hampshire, South Dakota, Wyoming do not tax wage income in 2026. They can still charge sales, property or other taxes, and some charge small payroll premiums.

How was this comparison calculated?

Each state is run through the same calculator used on its page: a single filer earning $80,000 with no pre-tax deductions, 2026 federal rules, and the state's own income tax. Local city and county income taxes are not included.

Does a lower state income tax always mean higher take-home pay?

For wages, yes, because federal tax, Social Security and Medicare are the same everywhere. Your total cost of living also depends on housing, sales and property taxes, so take-home pay alone does not show which state is cheaper to live in.
