$US75,000 a year looks very different depending on where you live. Some states like Texas and Washington don’t have state income taxes. So on average, you could see a bigger paycheck.
We decided to crunch the numbers. Here’s what $US75,000 looks like after paying taxes in 11 major US cities:
New York City, NY – $US49,896
Washington, DC – $US51,696
Los Angeles, CA – $US51,960
San Francisco, CA – $US51,960
Boson, MA – $US52,824
Denver, CO – $US53,184
Chicago, IL – $US53,592
Seattle, WA – $US56,328
Nashville, TN – $US56,328
Miami, FL – $US56,328
Dallas, TX – $US56,328
These numbers don’t factor in health insurance and retirement accounts like a 401(K). But judging by the average $US75K salary you may be a lot happier in Dallas than in NYC.
