A six-figure salary is a goal for many people. However, even if you have gotten to a place in you’re life where you’re making a six-figure salary, you might be taking home a lot less after taxes, depending on the state you live in.

If federal taxes seem to take a big enough chunk, there are also FICA deductions and Social Security taxes — and you might have to pay state and local taxes, depending on where you live. Each state has its own tax brackets and rates, so the amount of your hard-earned money goes to taxes varies by state.

To determine just how much a $100,000 salary really looks like in every state, GOBankingRates pulled data from federal and state tax brackets from the Tax Foundation’s 2025 data. We then used an in-house income tax calculator to find both the effective and marginal tax rate on income of $100,000 in every state for a single filer and for a married couple filing jointly. GOBankingRates also found the Federal Insurance Contributions Act tax with its rate sourced from the Social Security Administration.

Here’s a look at how much you really take home from a $100,000 salary in every state.

Methodology: To generate the income tax for a $100,000 salary by state, GOBankingRates surveyed income taxes at both the federal and state level (including FICA). Income tax estimates were created by using an in-house calculator for a single filer using the standard deduction (with 2025 tax brackets). Once the three income taxes were calculated as an annual amount, GOBankingRates found each state’s (4) total annual income taxes paid and (5) total income tax burden. All data was collected on and is up to date as of Aug. 5, 2025.
