Median Salary in the US
According to the latest figures from the US Bureau of Labor Statistics, the national median salary is $50,981 per year,
or $4,248 per month, before taxes and contributions.
This is the midpoint of all part-time and full-time earnings in the US, with half of employees earning more and half earning less.
To provide a clearer look at what workers across the US actually make, we've compiled each state's median gross salary,
next to the after-tax figures calculated using our take-home pay calculator.
The federal minimum wage in the US is $7.25 per hour, or
$15,080 annually for a full-time worker at 40 hours per week,
though many states set higher minimum wages.
Some states adjust rates annually for inflation or set different rates by location, employer size, or industry. Others have no minimum wage law.
The table below lists each state's minimum wage and estimated monthly after-tax income calculated for full-time employment.
Federal Income Tax is collected by the federal government and must be paid no matter where you live in the United
States.
As a progressive tax, individuals with higher incomes can expect to pay higher tax rates.
Tax rates are organized in seven brackets ranging from 10% to
37%.
State Tax is collected by state governments and is paid in addition to federal tax.
There's no universal method for state tax — each state chooses its own rates.
As such, state tax can be calculated according to a progressive rate, flat rate, or simply not collected at all.
Social Security Tax is paid through payroll taxes to support retirement benefits, benefits for widows and
widowers, and disability benefits.
Medicare Tax is paid through payroll taxes to provide health insurance to people who are 65 years or older,
anyone with disabilities, or anyone with terminal diseases.
