Frequently asked questions
Are these effective or marginal rates?
The dollar figures are total state income tax — your effective total. Marginal rates apply only to your last dollar.
Why does a no-tax state still reduce my net?
It does not — differences below are state tax only. Federal tax and FICA are the same in every state.
