State income tax rates range from 0% in nine states to over 13% in high-tax states. When planning a move or evaluating a remote job, state tax matters significantly.
Unlike federal brackets, state brackets often have fewer tiers and sometimes simpler calculations. Some states use flat taxes (one rate for all incomes).
Combined federal and state tax can exceed 50% on top earners in high-tax states, making tax-efficient planning critical.
