What Texas costs you versus California
Moving does not change your federal tax, so the state comparison is clean: the same $75,000 salary for a single filer leaves $61,593 in Texas and $58,652 in California. That is $2,941 a year — $245 a month — in favor of California.
California's 13.3% top rate is what you avoid by staying put, though California may offset part of it with lower property taxes or higher wages.
