State Paycheck Calculators

Why Use Our State-Specific Paycheck Calculators?

Tax laws vary significantly from state to state. Our state-specific paycheck calculators take into account the unique tax rates, deductions, and withholdings for each state, providing you with the most accurate estimate of your take-home pay.

Understanding State Income Taxes

State income taxes can significantly impact your take-home pay. Some states have a flat tax rate, while others use progressive tax brackets similar to the federal system. Several states have no income tax at all. Our calculators account for these differences to give you an accurate picture of your after-tax income.

States with No Income Tax

Alaska, Florida, Nevada, New Hampshire, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Washington, and Wyoming do not impose state income taxes. However, residents of these states may still be subject to federal taxes and other local taxes.

States with Flat Income Tax Rates

Colorado, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Massachusetts, Michigan, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Utah apply a single tax rate to all income levels, regardless of how much you earn.

States with Progressive Income Tax Rates

The remaining states use progressive tax systems where your tax rate increases as your income rises, similar to the federal income tax system. California, Hawaii, New Jersey, Oregon, and Minnesota have some of the highest top marginal tax rates.

Additional State-Specific Deductions

Beyond income taxes, states may have additional deductions or contributions that affect your paycheck, such as state disability insurance, family leave programs, or local taxes. Our state-specific calculators include these factors when relevant.

State Disability Insurance (SDI)

States like California, Hawaii, New Jersey, New York, and Rhode Island have mandatory disability insurance programs that require employee contributions.

Paid Family Leave Programs

Several states have implemented paid family leave programs funded through payroll deductions, including California, Colorado, Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Rhode Island, and Washington.
