Key findings

- On a $75,000 salary, Oregon has the highest state income tax in this comparison, about $5,733 a year (an estimate; see the notes below). That is the gap in take-home pay between Oregon and any no-income-tax state.
- The highest top marginal rate is 13.3% in California, though that rate applies only to very high incomes.
- The highest combined sales tax is 10.11% in Louisiana; the highest effective property tax is 1.88% in Illinois.
- No income tax does not mean low tax overall: several no-income-tax states sit near the top for sales tax or property tax.

State income tax on a $75,000 salary, ranked
Single filer, each state's own standard deduction, exemption and credits applied. States with no income tax on wages are at the bottom.
How the figures are calculated
- Income tax. A single filer with wage income only and no dependents. Each state's 2026 brackets, standard deduction, personal exemption and personal credit are applied, including the phase-outs published with the source table.
- Take-home pay. Salary minus federal income tax (2026 brackets and standard deduction), Social Security, Medicare and state income tax.
- Combined sales tax. The state rate plus the population-weighted average local rate, as of January 1, 2026.
- Property tax rate. Property taxes paid as a share of owner-occupied home value, 2024.
Not included: local income taxes, state payroll programs such as disability or paid leave insurance, tax credits and itemized deductions. Full details are on the methodology page.
* A rule in these states is not modeled, so the income tax figure is an estimate: Alabama Arkansas Connecticut Maine Missouri Oregon . Each state page explains what is left out. Where a state allows a deduction for federal income tax paid, the figure here is somewhat high.
