How to read this table
Figures are for a single filer in 2026 with no 401(k) or benefits, and include state payroll programs such as California SDI, Washington’s paid leave and WA Cares, and New Jersey’s disability and unemployment contributions. City and county taxes are left out here because they depend on where exactly you live; each state page lets you add them. Nine states (Alaska, Florida, Nevada, New Hampshire, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Washington and Wyoming) do not tax wages at all.
