Understanding state and local taxes globally

State and local taxes are subnational taxes charged by regions such as states, provinces, prefectures, cantons, counties, or municipalities. They can apply to wages, profits, property, and consumption. Because every jurisdiction sets its own rules, effective rates and deductions vary widely.

This calculator focuses on subnational income taxes. Enter your gross income, applicable state/provincial rate, local/municipal rate, any additional subnational levies, and your deductions. You’ll instantly see your taxable income, total subnational tax, effective local tax rate, and take‑home income after these local taxes. National/federal taxes are not included to keep the tool universal and easy to adapt.

Who benefits from this calculator

  • Students: Explore how subnational tax rates and deductions affect disposable income across regions.

Key concepts to grasp

  • Effective local rate: Total subnational tax divided by gross income, shown as a single percentage.
  • Deductions: Fixed amounts that reduce what you owe by lowering taxable income.

Best practices for accurate estimates

  • Verify current rates: Local rates update frequently; use official state/provincial or city sources.
