Frequently Asked Questions
How do I use the state comparison feature?
Enter your gross income, filing status, and primary state. Then select a second state in the 'Compare With State' dropdown. The calculator will show your after-tax income side-by-side and tell you exactly how much more or less you'd keep in each state on the same salary.
Why does state matter so much for after-tax income?
State income taxes vary from 0% (in no-tax states like Texas and Florida) to over 13% (California at the top bracket). On a $100,000 salary, this difference can be worth $5,000–$12,000 per year in after-tax purchasing power — a material impact on savings, investments, and lifestyle.
Does federal tax change when I move states?
No — federal income tax is the same regardless of which US state you live in. Only the state income tax row changes when you compare states. FICA (Social Security and Medicare) also stays the same across all states.
