See What a $100K Salary Looks Like After Taxes in the West

In the West, Oregon is known for being a shopping mecca, because the state has no sales tax. But, if you live in the Beaver State, you will end up paying another way: Based on research by GOBankingRates, Oregon has the highest tax rate in America, at 29.7%. Thus, if you have a $100,000 salary, you get to keep a shade over $70,000 of that.

Other Western states are not quite as greedy. In Alaska, Nevada, Washington and Wyoming — states with no income tax — you get to keep over 78% of your salary.

Check out how much of a $100,000 salary you get to keep in each of the Western states.

Methodology: To generate the income tax for a $100,000 salary by state, GOBankingRates surveyed income taxes at both the federal and state level (including FICA). Income tax estimates were created by using an in-house calculator for a person who was filing their taxes as a single person and using the standard deduction (with 2024 tax brackets). Once the three income taxes were calculated as an annual amount, GOBankingRates found each state’s (4) total annual income taxes paid and (5) total income tax burden. All data was collected on and is up to date as of Feb. 25, 2025.
