Single filer or married filing jointly, standard deduction, wage income only. State brackets are single-filer, so a joint figure in a state that widens its brackets reads high; the federal side is exact for both. Tax credits, itemised deductions and all local income tax are excluded. Full methodology.
Nothing on this page includes local or municipal income tax, because a state-level figure can't state one number for it. Where we know it applies to a metro in our data, it's named rather than glossed over.
Six salaries, single filer, standard deduction, no pre-tax contributions. The FICA column is Social Security and Medicare together, because they come out on the same line of most pay stubs.

Each rate applies only to the slice of taxable income inside its own bracket, so the top rate you reach is never the rate you pay on the whole salary.

Tax is set once for the whole state. Prices aren't. Oregon scores 103.4 on the federal price index as a whole, and the spread between its cheapest and priciest metro is wider than the gap between most pairs of states. These are the city-level figures on the same salary.
The tax gap between two states is usually the smaller half of the answer. The price gap is the bigger one, and the two pull in opposite directions more often than they'd agree.
