Self-employment tax is a federal tax (Social Security + Medicare). States layer their income tax on top — that layer is the entire difference between the rows.
On income tax alone, the no-income-tax states tie — but the ranking inside the taxing states is not the same as the employee ranking, because the half-SE deduction interacts with each state's brackets. The table above is the honest order at this profit level.
Self-employed tax in every state for 2026 on $100,000 of profit: the federal SE tax ($14,130) is identical everywhere — the state income-tax layer is what moves the total, from $25,745 in Alaska to $33,041 in Oregon.

The hub of the self-employed cluster: one federal SE tax, fifty-one different totals. It ranks every state on the same profit and links to a full calculator per state, plus the 1099-vs-W-2 and LLC-vs-S-corp comparisons.
On $100,000 of profit (single), the SE tax is $14,130 in every state; totals differ only through state income tax.
Each state page runs the Schedule SE model (92.35% base, wage-base cap counting W-2 wages, Additional Medicare) and the verified state engine on profit minus the half-SE deduction.
Yes — it is a federal tax. Only the income-tax layer differs by state.
The half-SE deduction interacts with each state’s brackets and deductions, so the order shifts.
