📈

A $5,000 401(k) contribution saves $1,665/yr in taxes

🗺️

Moving to a no-tax state could net $13,198 more per year

States like Texas and Florida have no state income tax. At your salary, moving to Texas would mean $13,198/year more take-home — $1,100/month — with no change to your gross salary.
