Illinois vs other states
At a $75,000 salary, a single worker in Illinois takes home about $58,025 a year ($4,835 a month). The same worker in Texas, which has no income tax, takes home about $61,593.
That is a difference of about $3,568 a year in state tax. At $100,000 the difference is about $4,805. A lower take-home does not make a state worse overall, because wages, housing costs and other taxes differ too.
