How it's calculated

How state income tax is estimated

We use a representative 2025 effective rate per state derived from each state's published brackets at typical middle/upper-middle taxable income. Local taxes (NYC, Philadelphia, many OH/PA cities) add more on top.

State tax = Taxable income × state's representative effective rate (2025)

States with no income tax (2025)

Nine states levy no broad personal income tax: Alaska, Florida, Nevada, New Hampshire (interest/dividends only, phasing out), South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Washington, and Wyoming. Washington taxes capital gains above $270k.

Flat-tax states (2025)

Flat-rate states tax all income at one rate: AZ 2.5%, CO 4.4%, GA 5.39%, IL 4.95%, IN 3.0%, KY 4.0%, MI 4.25%, NC 4.25%, PA 3.07%, UT 4.55%. Simple to model, but high earners often pay less than they would in graduated states like CA or NY.

Highest top brackets (2025)

California 13.3%, Hawaii 11%, New Jersey 10.75%, New York 10.9% (plus NYC's local 3–4%), Oregon 9.9%, Minnesota 9.85%. If you live in one of these, set aside 35–45% of every freelance dollar — not 25–30%.

FAQ

How accurate is this state estimate?

We use a representative 2025 effective rate per state. Real liability depends on bracket structure, deductions, credits, and city-level local tax. Use this for planning, not for filing.

Does it include city/local tax?

No. NYC adds 3–4%, Philadelphia adds ~3.75% (residents), and many OH cities add 1–3%. Add manually if relevant.

Should I move to a no-income-tax state?

Run the math. Florida and Texas often have higher property and sales tax, plus insurance costs. The break-even depends on income, housing, and lifestyle — not just the headline state rate.

Important: this is not tax advice

Calculations use simplified, current published brackets for United States (2025). US estimates layer the selected state's 2025 income tax rate on top of federal — local city taxes (e.g. NYC, Philadelphia) and progressive within-state brackets are not modelled.They do not account for credits, alternative minimum tax, the Net Investment Income Tax, foreign income, R&D credits, or your personal circumstances. Always confirm with a licensed CPA, chartered accountant, or registered tax agent before filing.
