About StateFigures

StateFigures is a free calculator hub covering paycheck take-home pay, income tax and related state costs for all 50 states and the District of Columbia, computed from 2026 rates. Every rate and threshold is cited to the government body that publishes it, carries the date it was last checked, and is applied by calculation code that is tested against hand-worked examples. All calculation runs in your browser; nothing you enter is stored or sent.

The site exists because the figures people search for most (how much tax comes out of a paycheck in a given state, what a state's income tax rate is this year) are usually answered by pages that are a year or two stale, that leave out the local taxes which often matter more than the state rate, or that give a net figure with no itemisation and no source. This site tries to do the opposite: current figures, every line itemised with its rate, every figure sourced, and a plain statement of what is left out and why.

Aurangzeb builds and maintains a group of free calculator and reference sites, of which StateFigures is one. He is not a tax professional and the site does not give tax advice. Every rate and threshold on this site is taken from the IRS, the Social Security Administration or the state revenue department that publishes it, is checked against the Tax Foundation's annual compilation, carries a last-verified date, and is applied by calculation code that is unit tested against hand-worked examples. Corrections are welcome and are acted on.

That is the honest position: the site is built by someone who compiles and checks published figures carefully, not by a CPA or tax attorney. The value it offers is accuracy, sourcing and freshness, not professional judgement, and nothing on it is advice about what anyone should do with their money or where they should live. The methodology page sets out exactly how every figure is computed and what is excluded.

Federal figures are taken from the IRS revenue procedure for the tax year and the Social Security Administration's annual announcement. State figures are compiled from each state revenue department's published rates and cross-checked against the Tax Foundation's annual compilation and its list of changes taking effect on 1 January. Each dataset records the date it was verified, every page displays that date, and a check that runs before every deployment refuses to publish if any dataset is more than twelve months old.

The calculation code is a single module with a test suite of hand-worked examples covering the federal brackets, the FICA caps, and a range of states with different structures. The figures quoted in the written copy on each state page are generated by that same module, so the text and the calculator cannot disagree.

It does not give advice. It does not model local income taxes, W-4 elections, benefits or credits beyond those stated on the methodology page, and it says so next to every result. It does not collect what you type. It does not sell or recommend financial products. Advertising may appear in the marked spaces below and between sections, never above or inside a calculator, and does not influence the figures.

Corrections are welcome and are acted on: write to hello@statefigures.com or use the contact page. If a figure disagrees with the source it cites, the source is right and the figure will be fixed and the page's verified date updated.
