Why take-home pay differs by state

Nine states charge no tax on wages (Alaska, Florida, Nevada, New Hampshire, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Washington and Wyoming). Others use a flat rate or progressive brackets. Federal tax and FICA are the same everywhere, so state tax is the main difference. Cost of living, property tax and sales tax also matter, so look at the full picture before relocating.
