Do you know your state’s tax rates and how your state tax burden compares to what Americans in other states pay?

Whether you live in Alabama or Wyoming, the federal government applies the same federal tax rates, brackets and rules to your taxable income as it does to every other individual taxpayer. But which state you earn income in can have a big impact on your state tax obligation.

States set their own tax rates and brackets. Alaska, Florida, Nevada, South Dakota, Texas, Washington and Wyoming don’t tax personal income at all. New Hampshire and Tennessee tax income from interest and dividends that exceed certain amounts, but not wages.

The other 41 states and the District of Columbia tax personal income — and each may use different methods to calculate the total amount of income tax due. Some only apply the corresponding tax rate to all the taxable income within that bracket. Others also add in a set amount of tax in addition to the amount calculated with the rate. And still others have a flat rate that applies to all income levels.

Let’s take a look at state individual income tax rates and how they compare.

What are the state tax rates and brackets?

Like the federal government, states with progressive income tax systems have tax rates and brackets. A tax bracket is a range of taxable income with a particular tax rate assigned to it.

Alabama*	Arizona	Arkansas	California*	Colorado*
Connecticut*	Delaware*	District of Columbia	Georgia	Hawaii*
Idaho	Illinois*	Indiana	Iowa	Kansas*
Kentucky	Louisiana*	Maine	Maryland*	Massachusetts
Michigan	Minnesota	Mississippi	Missouri	Montana
Nebraska*	New Jersey*	New Mexico*	New York	North Carolina
North Dakota	Ohio*	Oklahoma*	Oregon	Pennsylvania*
Rhode Island	South Carolina	Utah*	Vermont	Virginia
West Virginia		Wisconsin*

Learn how tax brackets work

Here’s a rundown of state tax rates. In some cases, 2019 information was not yet available, so we’ve included 2018 information. And for some states we relied on the state’s published instructions for calculating 2019 estimated tax payments. In the case of estimated payment instructions, the rates and amounts listed may vary from actual tax tables that the state will publish later, but generally they can be a good estimation of 2019 taxes. We also provided base standard deductions, where available, but some states may allow additional deductions for eligible taxpayers, such as those who are blind or 65 and older.

Each state makes its own rules for the types and amounts of taxes they will levy, including personal income taxes. Your federal income tax obligation is only part of your bigger tax picture. Understanding how (or if) your state taxes your income can help you get a picture of your overall financial situation each year.
