New York State is second highest at 12.39%, where the state takes one dollar out of every eight dollars earned by its taxpayers.<\/p>\n<p>Beyond the highest and lowest rankings, the map reveals striking regional contrasts. On the West Coast, income taxes contribute the largest share of Oregon\u2019s burden, while Washington relies more heavily on sales and excise taxes.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Hawaii\u2019s Steep Tax Bill at 13.3%<\/strong><br \/>\nHawaii\u2019s position at the top of the ranking is driven largely by consumption-related taxes, which account for more than half of its total burden. Unlike a conventional retail sales tax, Hawaii\u2019s broad general excise tax applies to business receipts from goods, services, construction, and rent, not just profits.<\/p>\n<p>Wholesalers and retailers can both owe the tax, meaning a product can generate tax revenue at multiple stages before reaching the final buyer. Renters can encounter it as well. Landlords owe general excise tax on rental receipts and may pass that cost on to tenants. The tax therefore affects both everyday purchases and housing payments.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Alaska\u2019s Resource Wealth Helps Pay the Bills at 4.92%<\/strong><br \/>\nAlaska levies neither a personal income tax nor a statewide sales tax, although municipalities can collect local taxes. The state also benefits from an unusual funding source: an investment fund built largely from oil and gas revenues. The Alaska Permanent Fund invests a share of the state\u2019s mineral revenue, turning finite natural resources into a source of ongoing investment income.<\/p>\n<p><strong>New Hampshire has the second lowest tax burden at 5.38%<\/strong><br \/>\nThe legislative strategies of Republican majorities in office for the past six years in Concord, combined with a Republican Governor for the last eight years, have successfully kept the state of New Hampshire in the forefront of minimizing the amount of income and assets the state requires from its taxpayers to support government services.<\/p>\n<p>GST founder Governor Mel Thompson, who said &#8220;Low taxes are the result of low spending.&#8221; set a direction which is still supported by one of our two major political parties, the Republican Party.<br \/>\nThat direction, being followed, has led the state to the position of Second Best in the treatment of taxpayers and respect for their income, and has resulted in net inward migration, reduced business taxes, attracting more businesses, and a growing economy.<\/p>\n<p><strong>On November 3rd, vote to keep in place the people and party that have created that successful record.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Posted by: GST Board Member Ray Chadwick<\/p>\n<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;-<br \/>\n<strong>The table below ranks all 50 states by their overall tax burden in 2026:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Rank    State   Overall Tax Burden in 2026 (%)<br \/>\n1\tHawaii\t       13.30<br \/>\n2\tNew York       12.39<br \/>\n3\tVermont\t       11.10<br \/>\n4\tNew Mexico     10.75<br \/>\n5\tMaine\t       10.01<br \/>\n6\tIllinois\t9.92<br \/>\n7\tMaryland\t9.70<br \/>\n8\tNew Jersey      9.52<br \/>\n9\tOregon\t        9.46<br \/>\n10\tRhode Island\t9.29<br \/>\n11\tCalifornia\t9.24<br \/>\n12\tIowa\t        9.21<br \/>\n13\tKansas\t        9.20<br \/>\n14\tIndiana\t        9.12<br \/>\n15\tMinnesota\t9.08<br \/>\n16\tOhio\t        9.05<br \/>\n17\tConnecticut\t9.00<br \/>\n18\tWest Virginia\t8.89<br \/>\n19\tUtah\t        8.87<br \/>\n20\tMississippi\t8.84<br \/>\n21\tLouisiana\t8.82<br \/>\n22\tMassachusetts\t8.82<br \/>\n23\tKentucky\t8.76<br \/>\n24\tPennsylvania\t8.47<br \/>\n25\tWashington\t8.47<br \/>\n26\tArkansas\t8.44<br \/>\n27\tNevada\t        8.37<br \/>\n28\tVirginia\t8.26<br \/>\n29\tNebraska\t8.16<br \/>\n30\tGeorgia\t        8.15<br \/>\n31\tWisconsin\t8.12<br \/>\n32\tMichigan\t7.98<br \/>\n33\tAlabama\t        7.93<br \/>\n34\tMissouri\t7.84<br \/>\n35\tNorth Carolina\t7.81<br \/>\n36\tTexas\t        7.69<br \/>\n37\tColorado\t7.56<br \/>\n38\tSouth Carolina\t7.49<br \/>\n39\tMontana\t        7.29<br \/>\n40\tArizona\t        7.24<br \/>\n41\tOklahoma\t7.05<br \/>\n42\tIdaho\t        7.04<br \/>\n43\tNorth Dakota\t7.02<br \/>\n44\tWyoming\t        6.70<br \/>\n45\tSouth Dakota\t6.38<br \/>\n46\tDelaware\t6.28<br \/>\n47\tFlorida\t        6.27<br \/>\n48\tTennessee\t6.21<br \/>\n49\tNew Hampshire\t5.38<br \/>\n50\tAlaska\t        4.92<br \/>\n\ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\uddf8 National Average     8.43<\/p>\n<p>Thanks to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.visualcapitalist.com\/mapped-tax-burden-by-state-in-2026\/\" target=\"_blank\">Visual Capitalist &#8220;Mapped: U.S.States With the Highest Tax Burden in 2026&#8221;, October 9, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>U.S. States With the Highest Tax Burden in 2026 Where Americans live can make a substantial difference in how much of their income goes toward state and local taxes.
