What Ohio costs you versus Texas
Moving does not change your federal tax, so the state comparison is clean: the same $75,000 salary for a single filer leaves $60,246 in Ohio and $61,593 in Texas. That is $1,346 a year — $112 a month — in favor of Ohio.
Nine states — Alaska, Florida, Nevada, New Hampshire, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Washington, and Wyoming — charge nothing on wages, which is why they dominate "best state for take-home pay" lists.

Does Ohio tax 401(k) contributions?
Most states follow the federal treatment: traditional 401(k) deferrals are excluded from state taxable wages, so contributing lowers state tax as well as federal tax. A few states, including Pennsylvania and Colorado, treat some deferrals differently, so check your state's instructions if you contribute heavily. This calculator applies the federal exclusion everywhere.
