Are you aiming for a six-figure salary? While these salaries are often associated with a comfortable lifestyle, the value of $100,000 varies significantly depending on where you live.

Earning $100,000 a year can have different implications based on your state. Furthermore, state and federal taxes are deducted from employees’ gross paychecks, affecting their take-home pay.

GoBankingRates analyzed state and federal data from the Tax Foundation for 2024 to assess what a $100,000 income looks like in each state.

The personal finance website used an in-house calculator to determine the effective and marginal tax rates on a $100,000 income for a single person filing taxes and a married couple filing jointly across all 50 states.

States like Alaska and Florida have an after-tax income of over $78,500 on a $100,000 salary. In contrast, Hawaii has the lowest after-tax income of $71,177 for the same wage — a difference of more than $7,300 annually.
