How to read the table

Federal tax, Social Security and Medicare are the same in every state, so the first columns hold everywhere. Take-home is shown for a state with no wage tax, then the lowest of all 50 states and DC, so you can see how wide the state effect is at each salary. Each salary links to a page with all 51 states. For a figure that includes your benefits, use the paycheck calculator, or pick your state in the state paycheck calculators.
