US Take-Home Pay by State, 2026 — Net Pay After Federal, State and FICA Taxes (51 Jurisdictions × 11 Income Levels × 2 Filing Statuses)

This dataset provides computed 2026 take-home pay (net pay after taxes) for all 50 US states and the District of Columbia, at 11 gross income levels ($30,000–$250,000) and 2 filing statuses (single, married filing jointly) — 1,122 observations in total, plus a citable 51-row ranking at the $100,000 single benchmark. For each observation, the dataset reports: federal income tax (per IRS Rev. Proc. 2025-32 brackets and 2026 standard deductions), state income tax (verified against each state's Department of Revenue publications, including 2026 legislative changes such as Georgia H.B. 111, South Carolina H.4216 and West Virginia's phased reduction), Social Security (2026 SSA wage base), Medicare including the 0.9% Additional Medicare Tax, state payroll extras (e.g. California SDI at 1.3% uncapped per SB 951), total tax, annual and monthly take-home pay, effective and marginal tax rates. Methodology. All figures are computed by the open StateTakeHome calculation engine, a deterministic, jurisdiction-agnostic tax engine whose per-jurisdiction inputs (brackets, standard deductions, wage bases, payroll extras) are sourced exclusively from official publications (IRS, SSA, state DORs) with an explicit 2026 vintage.
