Illinois uses an estimated 4.95% state income tax in this planning view, so a paycheck here lands lower than the same salary in a no-tax state.
Average living costs tend to run below the national midpoint, which can let more of the same paycheck flow into savings or debt payoff. In this state, housing often lands around 25% of take-home pay for many renters, with a planning rent band around $1,000–$1,700.
