If you are looking for a way to calculate your “take home pay” (or net pay) you can use the calculator below. If you are interested in the hourly payroll calculator use the link. This way you can easily find out how much your wage is after tax. This can be used for any state in the USA.

Here are a few facts on the rate of income tax from state to state in the U.S.:

1. Forty-three states and the District of Columbia have an individual income tax, while Alaska, Florida, Nevada, South Dakota, Texas, Washington, and Wyoming do not. New Hampshire and Tennessee only tax dividends and interest .This is why many professional athletes and other high earners move to the above-mentioned states. Florida, for instance, is filled with pro athletes and other high earners who not only like its weather but its tax rate.
2. Nine states apply a single tax rate to all taxable income. They are as follows: Colorado (4.63%), Illinois (5.0%), Indiana (3.4%), Massachusetts (5.3%), Michigan (4.35%), Pennsylvania (3.07%) and Utah (5.0%). Other states copy the federal income tax and feature multiple tax brackets and rates. The definition of taxable income closely resembles the federal definition in most states.
3. In 2010, the top marginal tax rate ranged from 3 percent in Illinois to 11 percent in Hawaii and Oregon. That 11% rate in those two states applies only to those with individual incomes above $200k and $250k, respectively. So, all of those Internet millionaires in the Portland area get socked, as do real estate owners on the wonderful islands of Hawaii.

4. The income that is subject to tax varies by state. Some states calculate taxes based on Federal taxable income with minor modifications, while others tax a measure of income that bears scant resemblance to Federal taxable income.
5. The states that charge an income tax on individuals tax all taxable income (as defined in the state) of residents of their states. Such residents are allowed a credit, though, for taxes paid to other states. Most states tax income of nonresidents earned within the state. This income includes wages for services within the state and income from a business with operations in the state.
6. In addition, some states allow cities and/or counties to impose additional income taxes. Most Ohio cities and towns impose an income tax on individuals, for example. By contrast, in New York only New York City and Yonkers imposes a municipal income tax.

So, there is no one-size-fits-all approach for calculating what to pay a worker in the U.S. It all depends on the state (and even city) where s/he resides. Anyone who employs a worker in the U.S. needs to take a look at the list of states that charge an income tax and adjust net pay accordingly. They also need to figure in federal withholding and should be somewhat familiar with the different brackets that come into play with federal taxes. A handy chart can give a quick reference regarding state tax rates, and helpful tables are available for federal rates.

For who is the information interesting?
It can be used for both (small) business owners who can calculate the wages of their employees. It’s also interesting for employees themselves as they can calculate how much they have left after taxes or when you are negotiating your salary. You now know how much cash you will actually get after taxes.
