How we figure this out
We use 2026 state tax rules — who taxes Social Security, pensions, and 401(k) withdrawals — plus each state's average property tax, combined sales tax, cost of living, climate, and healthcare access. Your results are estimates built from the answers you tap, meant to point you in the right direction. They're not tax advice; before a big move, it's worth an hour with a tax professional.
One more thing: this tool is private. The math happens in your browser, on your device. We never see, send, or save your answers.
