Monthly budget by state

Start from your salary and state. We take out taxes, fill in the typical costs where you live, and show what is left. Change any number to match your life.

Your monthly budget

Pick your state and salary. We fill in typical costs from official data, and you can change any of them.

Filing
Typical costs are state averages from the source shown on each line; groceries are the U.S. average household. "I own a home" swaps rent for home insurance and property tax: add your mortgage payment as an extra line. Taxes: 2026 federal and state income tax, Social Security and Medicare. General information, not financial advice.

Each state page starts with that state's numbers: Alabama · Alaska · Arizona · Arkansas · California · Colorado · Connecticut · Delaware · District of Columbia · Florida · Georgia · Hawaii · Idaho · Illinois · Indiana · Iowa · Kansas · Kentucky · Louisiana · Maine · Maryland · Massachusetts · Michigan · Minnesota · Mississippi · Missouri · Montana · Nebraska · Nevada · New Hampshire · New Jersey · New Mexico · New York · North Carolina · North Dakota · Ohio · Oklahoma · Oregon · Pennsylvania · Rhode Island · South Carolina · South Dakota · Tennessee · Texas · Utah · Vermont · Virginia · Washington · West Virginia · Wisconsin · Wyoming

Then compare two states with the cost of living comparison, or split what is left with the 50/30/20 budget calculator.
