Which states skip income tax on wages
Nine states do not tax wage income: Alaska, Florida, Nevada, New Hampshire, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Washington, and Wyoming. On our site, Nevada, Texas, and Washington have dedicated calculators; in each, the only paycheck taxes are federal income tax, Social Security, and Medicare.
The take-home difference at $65,000
A single filer earning $65,000 keeps about $54,365 a year in Nevada, Texas, or Washington. The same salary nets roughly: Oregon $50,010, New York $51,245, Maryland $49,771, Illinois $51,293, Colorado $51,725. Figures assume a single filer paid biweekly with a 2026 W-4, no pre-tax deductions, and default local tax settings, calculated with the same engine as our calculators.
What a no-income-tax state doesn't tell you
States without an income tax usually raise money elsewhere — higher sales taxes, property taxes, or fees. Housing costs, insurance, and commuting can outweigh the payroll savings, so compare total cost of living, not just your paycheck.
