State Tax Rates

State income tax rates vary significantly across the United States. Some states have no income tax, while others have rates ranging from 1% to over 10%. The calculator uses average state tax rates for estimation purposes.

For example, California has a progressive state income tax with rates from 1% to 13.3%, while Texas has no state income tax. Washington has a flat state income tax rate of 7.0%.

Deductions and Credits

The calculator includes standard deductions for federal and state taxes. Additional deductions and credits may apply based on your specific circumstances, such as:

  • Standard Deduction: $13,850 for single filers, $27,700 for married filing jointly in 2023
  • Child Tax Credit: Up to $2,000 per qualifying child
  • Earned Income Tax Credit: Up to 40% of earned income for low- to moderate-income workers
  • State-specific deductions and credits

For a more accurate estimate, consider these additional factors when using the calculator.
