Texas Income Tax Advantage
| Annual Income | CA Tax (top rate) | Annual CA Tax | TX Tax | Annual Savings |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| $200K | 9.3% | $18,600 | $0 | $18,600 |
| $300K | 11.3% | $33,900 | $0 | $33,900 |
| $400K | 12.3% | $49,200 | $0 | $49,200 |
| $500K | 13.3% | $66,500 | $0 | $66,500 |
Texas property taxes are higher than California, partially offsetting the income tax advantage. Net advantage still substantial.
Ryan Brown, Principal Broker & CEO Own Luxury Homes®
“The South Asian tech professional comparing Fremont to Plano is comparing two legitimate options. Fremont wins on community depth and Bay Area employment. Plano wins on financial math. The income saved on Texas income tax alone funds a significant portion of the mortgage difference. The specialist who can model this for the family serves them at the level they deserve.”
