Why state matters more than people expect
On the same $75,000 salary, the best and worst state are $5,989 apart in annual take-home — enough to change a housing budget. Federal tax and FICA are identical everywhere; the whole difference is state income tax.
Numbers are estimates from each state's 2026 brackets and standard deduction. State credits, local income taxes and payroll programmes such as SDI or paid family leave are not modelled, and your W-4 changes per-check withholding.
