How these pages are built

Each state page is generated from one canonical 2026 dataset — Tax Foundation’s 2026 state tables as the comparison spine, checked against state departments of revenue and official withholding publications — and every printed figure is computed by the same engine that runs the calculators, so the static page and the live tool can never disagree. Filing statuses a state’s own tables could not verify are not offered, and each page says so.

Looking for the league table instead? All 51 states ranked by take-home pay, with the map and the salary slider. Or start from the national tools: the US Paycheck Calculator and the International Tax Calculator.

Sources & verification. Every figure on this page is computed live by the same engine that runs the state calculators, from the canonical 2026 dataset: Tax Foundation, “2026 State Income Tax Rates and Brackets” (the comparison spine), state departments of revenue and official 2026 withholding publications, IRS Rev. Proc. 2025-32 for the federal layer. Verified 31 October 2026. Star ratings are quintiles of the average share of gross pay kept at $50,000, $75,000 and $100,000 (single filer) across all 51 jurisdictions. This hub is an estimator index, not tax advice.

2026 income tax brackets for every US state, printed in full: single and married-joint tables, standard deductions, worked examples and a find-your-bracket tool per state.

State Tax Brackets — All 50 States + DC, 2026 guide

2026 income tax brackets for every US state in full: single and joint tables, standard deductions and worked examples. Every card and row is computed live from the canonical 2026 dataset — Tax Foundation’s state tables checked against state revenue departments — by the same engine that runs the state calculators. Rates checked 31 October 2026; all figures are for the 2026 tax year.

How to use this tool

  1. Pick your state from the grid, or use the ranking page’s slider to re-rank all 51 at your own salary.
  2. Open the state page type you need: brackets for the raw schedule, income calculator for the annual picture, paycheck for per-check take-home.
  3. Every figure is computed by one engine from one canonical 2026 dataset, so the hub, the tables and the calculators always agree.

A worked example

On the same $75,000 salary (single filer, 2026), a worker keeps $61,593 in Texas and $58,805 in California — the entire $2,788 gap is the state layer, because federal tax and FICA are identical in both states.

What you can do with this tool

How it works

Each state’s figure is computed on its own 2026 brackets, standard deduction, credits and payroll extras over the federal layer (IRS Rev. Proc. 2025-32; Social Security to the $184,500 wage base). Hubs sort and rank those engine outputs; nothing is hand-typed.

Frequently asked questions

How are the rankings worked out?

Every jurisdiction is run through the same engine on the same salary and filing status: federal tax and FICA are identical everywhere, so the order is decided entirely by the state layer — brackets, standard deduction, credits and payroll extras.

What are Take-Home Stars?

Quintiles of the average share of gross pay kept at $50,000, $75,000 and $100,000 (single filer) across all 51 jurisdictions: the top fifth earn 5 stars, the bottom fifth 1.

Why do nine states tie at the top?

Because they levy no tax on wages, so on wage income alone their take-home is identical — the ranking measures the tax layer only, not sales tax, property tax or cost of living.

Are these the official figures?

The state schedules come from Tax Foundation’s 2026 tables checked against state departments of revenue and official withholding publications; the federal layer is IRS Rev. Proc. 2025-32. Each state page prints its own sources.

Is New York City in the ranking?

The ranking uses state layers only, so New York is ranked without its city tax. City residents get a dedicated New York City paycheck calculator and brackets page.
