On a $75,000 salary (single), take-home pay ranges from $61,593 in Florida to $56,006 in Oregon. That's a gap of $5,587 a year, before local income taxes. That's not a small detail.
Every figure comes from our paycheck calculator. Same math, same rules. It uses the 2026 federal brackets and standard deduction, Social Security and Medicare. It adds each state's income tax and the payroll contributions employees must pay, like California SDI. No 401(k). No credits. No local taxes. States tied at the same amount have no wage income tax. In other words, at the top of the table, only federal tax and FICA come out.

These estimates cover wages only. They use the standard deduction and no credits. Some things would lower your federal tax, and they are not here: the 2026 child tax credit ($2,200 per child) and the 2025–2028 deductions for tips (up to $25,000), qualified overtime (up to $12,500, or $25,000 married), seniors 65+ ($6,000 each) and car-loan interest (up to $10,000). If any of those apply to you, your real federal tax is lower.
