- The gap is $9,100/year. Living in Alaska vs Oregon on the same $110k salary means $9,100 more in your pocket annually — enough to max out a Roth IRA and then some.
- No-tax states all tie for the top. Alaska, Florida, Nevada, New Hampshire, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Washington, Wyoming — all 9 states with no income tax — share the same net pay of $86,215/year on a $110k salary, since only federal tax and FICA apply.
- The middle is surprisingly tight. States ranked 15–35 cluster within a $1,979 range of each other. Filing status and deductions matter more than the headline tax rate for mid-range earners.
- Progressive vs flat isn't always what you'd expect. Some flat-tax states charge more than progressive ones at $110k, because flat rates hit all income equally with no low-bracket relief.
