| State | State tax on $75,000 | vs Arizona |
|---|---|---|
| Nevada | No income tax | −$1,875 |
| California | $3,230 | +$1,355 |
| Utah | $3,375 | +$1,500 |
| New Mexico | $3,385 | +$1,510 |
- Nevada has no income tax at all, so the same work done there costs $1,875 less in state tax than it does in Arizona.
- California would take $1,355 more, $3,230 against Arizona's $1,875.
- Utah would take $1,500 more, $3,375 against Arizona's $1,875.
- New Mexico would take $1,510 more, $3,385 against Arizona's $1,875.
