Where you live plays a major role in how much you’ll pay in state income taxes.

Some states, like Alaska and Florida, don’t levy individual income tax at all. Others, like California and Hawaii, have multiple tax brackets depending on how much income you make. The remaining states prefer to keep it simple and charge a flat tax across the board.

The list below provides an overview of each state’s income tax structure. Use it to compare flat-rate income taxes and graduated-rate income taxes in different states. In addition, take note of the standard deduction and personal exemption amounts for your state, as these amounts can vary significantly across the country.

While several states on the list don’t have income taxes, you may end up paying high taxes and fees.
