Estimated state tax

How it works

Pick a state and filing status, enter your income, and the tool subtracts the state standard deduction and personal exemptions (and dependent exemptions) listed by the Tax Foundation, applies that state’s 2026 brackets, then subtracts any exemption amounts the source lists as credits. Income below a state’s first bracket threshold is taxed at 0%. The result is a planning estimate, not a return.

Not modeled: federal-tax deductions some states allow, itemized deductions, retirement-income and Social Security subtractions, phase-outs of exemptions or credits at higher incomes, Connecticut and New York benefit recapture, and local income taxes. Washington taxes only high-earner capital gains, so wages show $0. Local (city, county or school district) income taxes are not included.

8 states have no wage income tax, 15 have a flat rate and 27 (counting DC) have graduated rates; Washington taxes only capital gains. Brackets, rates, standard deductions and personal exemptions for every state are in the table below (single filer).

Frequently asked questions

How much is state income tax on $100,000?

It depends on the state. Using the Tax Foundation 2026 brackets, a single filer with $100,000 pays nothing in the eight states with no income tax, about $3,692 in Colorado (a flat 4.4% after the $16,100 standard deduction), and more in graduated states such as California. Enter your own income and state above for the exact estimate.

Which states have no state income tax in 2026?

Alaska, Florida, Nevada, New Hampshire, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas and Wyoming levy no individual income tax on wages, according to the Tax Foundation. Washington taxes only capital gains of high earners.

Does this include local income tax?

No. Some states also allow cities, counties or school districts to levy income taxes. Those are excluded, so add them separately if you live in one of those places.

Why does my actual state tax differ from the estimate?

States differ on what income they start from, which deductions and credits they allow, and how exemptions phase out at higher incomes. This tool applies the published brackets, standard deduction and personal exemption only. Use your state revenue department calculator or a tax professional for a filing figure.

Are the brackets the same for single and married filers?

Not always. Many states double the single bracket thresholds for married couples filing jointly, others use the same thresholds for both, and some use unique joint brackets. The tool uses the separate single and joint columns published by the Tax Foundation.

Is anything I enter stored or sent anywhere?

No. The calculation runs in your browser and nothing you type leaves the page.
