Live in one of these and your whole state bill on a wage is nil.
One flat rate
16
Same percentage whatever you earn.
States with no tax on wages
Alaska, Florida, New Hampshire, Nevada, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Washington, Wyoming. You still file a federal return, and businesses may still owe state taxes.
States with one flat rate
Arizona, Colorado, Georgia, Iowa, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Michigan, Missouri, Mississippi, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Utah. A pay rise here does not push you into a higher state band, so the saving comes from deductions and credits instead.
