There are local income taxes in some states too. There are cities in Michigan that have city income taxes.

Also there is a petition circulating in Michigan to add a second rate for Millionaires.... because a million dollars.. clearly a capricious amount.

There is no analysis being circulated as to why a million dollars is the magic number.

Yes your correct. I did not notice the additional part from other states. I just quickly glanced over it. Thanks for the correction. Good luck if your playing. And have a great night

I am very thankful to be in a non-state-ncome-tax state. We have other taxes of course(sales)and Home Ins just jumped up by 20%...But it is reasonable here.

I truly feel lucky to live in a state that does not tax the lottery.

The difference in the finally amount with big jackpots runs into the millions of dollars.

Actually the tax difference feels like a jackpot win.

The recent 1.8 billion Powerball jackpot, the difference for a winner from New York and one from those that don't tax the lottery is a whooping 91 million dollars plus change.

The worst tax in VA in the property tax on your car every year. For someone living paycheck-to-paycheck it is the worst bill of the year.

Both the federal tax rate brackets and the state income tax rates used for the Powerball Jackpot Analysis and Mega Millions Jackpot Analysis pages at USA Mega have been updated to the latest 2026 rates.

Federal tax bracket changes happen every year, with the IRS adjusting each bracket upwards slightly to account for inflation. For a lottery jackpot winner claiming millions in income this results in a minuscule change in taxes paid, but the adjustment at USA Mega does make it exact.
