How This Calculator Works
On a $75,000 salary paid every two weeks, each Illinois paycheck starts at $2,885. About $295 goes to federal income tax, $221 to Social Security and Medicare and $137 to Illinois income tax, leaving about $2,232 before any 401(k), insurance or other deductions.
That state withholding is the 7th highest of 51 (50 states and D.C.), $37 more than the typical state per paycheck ($972 over a year).
Among neighboring states, Indiana leaves the most: about $2,285 per paycheck on the same salary, $53 more than Illinois. Where you pay income tax depends mainly on where you live and work, so check the rules before moving across a state line.
A real Illinois pay stub can differ a little from these figures, because the estimate spreads the year's tax evenly across your paychecks instead of using your employer's withholding tables.
