Sources & assumptions
Planning estimates only—not financial, legal, or tax advice. Income is treated as wages with the same salary in both states. This is not a complete tax-return calculation. Federal income and payroll taxes, capital gains, retirement exclusions, itemized deductions, personal exemptions, credits, bracket recapture, and local income taxes are not modeled. State-specific limitations can be significant, particularly at very low or high incomes; verify with a qualified tax professional.
Sales tax equals your selected taxable spending multiplied by a statewide average combined rate; grocery rules and credits are not modeled. Property tax equals the entered home value multiplied by the statewide effective rate, without a separate homeowner exemption. Actual parcel assessments and levies vary. Price indices measure statewide prices, including housing rents—not purchase prices, mortgage costs, or moving expenses. Comparable purchasing power is a gross-income price comparison, not a promised salary or after-tax budget.
