What this comparison does and doesn't capture
The table isolates one variable: state income tax on wages. It won't reflect local income taxes, and it deliberately ignores cost of living — a smaller paycheck in one state can still go further if housing is cheaper. For the register side of the equation, check each state's sales tax rate; for the full deduction detail, open each state's own paycheck page linked under the result.
