Hi makers! 👋 I built StateTakeHome after realizing how hard it is to answer a simple question: "what will I actually take home if I move from state X to state Y?" Most calculators give you one state at a time, with unsourced numbers. So we went the data-house route: a calculation engine verified against IRS Rev. Proc. 2025-32 and every state's Department of Revenue, 550+ calculators covering all 50 states + DC (plus Canadian provinces), and — this is the part I'm proudest of — all the underlying data published as open datasets under CC BY 4.0, with DOIs on Zenodo and Harvard Dataverse. Every number is dated and sourced, no black box. Recent additions: the Take-Home Pay Index (all 51 jurisdictions ranked on the same salary), property tax down to the county level (3,125 counties), and 2026 OBBBA provisions like no-tax-on-overtime. I'd love feedback on what to build next — state-to-state comparison is the most requested feature so far. And if you cite salary data anywhere, the datasets are free to reuse.
