Here’s How Much Your State Collects on Every Type of Tax

When it comes time to pay the taxman, we’re all in the same boat. But, what we pay isn’t always the same. Because while the bulk of your taxes in a given year are kicked up to the IRS and the federal government, there’s still a big chunk headed to the statehouse — and those taxes are by no means consistent. Depending on which state you call home, the types of taxes you’re subject to — and just how much they amount to — are going to be very different.

That’s why GOBankingRates conducted a study to lay out precisely what this tapestry of different state taxes looks like. The study used data from the U.S. Census Bureau to provide clear figures on how much money each tax collects on an annual basis. From there, the study divided the total by the state’s population to determine a rough number for what each citizen’s “share” comes out to. After tallying that figure across more than a dozen different forms of state taxes — not all of which are noted here — the study found the total amount of tax collected on a per-person basis by each state and ranked the states from lowest to highest total taxes.

You might be shocked to see all of the things your state collects money on. Take a look at how much is coming out of your pocket — and paycheck — and whether or not you should consider moving to a more tax-friendly area.
