Illinois topped the list with an effective state and local tax rate of 15,01% for the average U.S. household, according to WalletHub. It is followed by Connecticut with an effective rate of 14,84% and New York with an effective rate of 14,08% for households earning about $ 63 a year.

However, the analysis found that taxes on low incomes do not necessarily translate into a small tax bill; for example, Washington state is one of the few that does not levy an income tax on residents. But people living in the state still spend about 8% of their annual income on sales and excise taxes. Texans pay no income taxes, but spend about 1,8% of their income on property taxes, which are among the highest in the country. Conversely, Californians spend about 5% of their total income on sales and excise taxes, but only 0,76% on property taxes.

WalletHub conducted an analysis comparing 50 states and Washington across four taxation areas: real estate, vehicle ownership, income, sales, and excise.
