A state paycheck calculator helps you estimate your take-home pay based on your gross salary or hourly rate, your pay frequency, and the state you work in. Each state has its own income tax rules, which affect your net paycheck.

Most U.S. states collect state income tax in addition to federal taxes. Some states, including Texas, Florida, Nevada, and Washington, have no state income tax on wages, which means workers there generally keep more of their gross earnings.

Gross pay is your total earnings before any deductions are applied. Take-home pay, also called net pay, is what remains after federal taxes, state taxes, Social Security, Medicare, and any other applicable deductions have been subtracted.

As of the current tax year, the states with no state income tax on wages include Texas, Florida, Nevada, Washington, Wyoming, South Dakota, and Alaska. Tennessee and New Hampshire do not tax earned wages. Always verify the most current rules for your state before making financial decisions.

Select the paycheck calculator for your state from the list on this page. Enter your gross salary or hourly rate, choose your pay frequency, and the tool will estimate your take-home pay based on standard deduction assumptions for that state.
