Florida vs. California at $60,000: roughly $1,800–$2,200 per year in state-tax savings. Florida vs. NYC: roughly $3,000–$3,400 once city resident tax is included.
Take-home is materially helped by maxing out a 401(k) or HSA — every pretax dollar saves you 12–22% in federal tax depending on bracket position.
