Nine states have no tax on wages: Alaska, Florida, Nevada, New Hampshire, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Washington and Wyoming. Five have no statewide sales tax. Most states use graduated rates, so tax at the top rate overstates the bill for lower incomes; use a state-specific calculator for a precise figure.

| Field | What to enter |
|---|---|
| Where do you live? | Choose one: Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas … |
| State taxable income | Amount in your currency |
| Purchase amount | Amount in your currency |
What each result means
- Income tax at the top rate (upper estimate) = [State taxable income]×[Top state income tax rate]÷100
- State sales tax on the purchase = [Purchase amount]×[State sales tax rate]÷100
Example values
How the main result changes when State taxable income changes and everything else stays at the example values above:
| State taxable income | Income tax at the top rate (upper estimate) |
|---|---|
| 40,000 | 0 |
| 60,000 | 0 |
| 80,000 | 0 |
| 100,000 | 0 |
| 120,000 | 0 |
| 160,000 | 0 |
Formula
Approximate state income tax (at the top marginal rate) = taxable income × top rate
Sales tax = purchase × state rate (local rates are extra)
Worked example
Inputs: Where do you live?: Texas; State taxable income: $80,000; Purchase amount: $1,000.
Results: Top state income tax rate = 0 %; State sales tax rate = 6.25 %; Income tax at the top rate (upper estimate) = $0.00; State sales tax on the purchase = $62.50.
