The tax on each salary is for a single filer, applying the state's own rates to wages before any state deduction or credit, and leaving out local income taxes. That is the same method the paycheck calculator uses. Most states' tables are for 2026; the few that had not published theirs are marked on their own pages.
The paycheck calculator works out take-home pay in any state, how taxes work explains brackets in plain language, and the cost of living by state puts taxes next to prices and rents.
