About TaxCompare

Compare your real tax burden.

What we do

TaxCompare models federal and state taxes side by side so households can see how moves, raises, and deductions actually change what they owe.

We focus on U.S. federal and state income taxes. Every page on taxcompare.org is built from IRS Revenue Procedures and the Tax Foundation state-tax database, cited and linkable so readers can trace any number back to its source.

Who this is for

TaxCompare is built for taxpayers weighing relocation, remote workers, and financial advisors.

Why this exists

Public data on U.S. federal and state income taxes is technically free, but practically locked behind file formats, acronyms, and paywalled dashboards. TaxCompareexists to close that gap: take the raw federal and public-sector data, and turn it into pages a normal person can read in thirty seconds.

How we work

  • Primary source only. We pull from IRS Revenue Procedures and the Tax Foundation state-tax database and cite the exact dataset and version on every page.
  • No invented numbers. If a figure is not in the underlying public data, it does not appear on taxcompare.org. We never generate synthetic statistics to fill gaps.
  • Refreshed on a schedule. Data is refetched on a published cadence — you can see the "Last updated" date on every dataset page.
  • Corrections welcome. Readers flag issues all the time. When the source fixes a record, TaxCompare follows.

Independence

TaxCompare is an independent publication. We are not funded, owned, or directed by any of the agencies, companies, or organizations that appear in our data. Hosting is paid for by advertising — see our Privacy Policy for details — and we do not take paid placements, sponsored rankings, or "remove-my-entry" fees.

History

TaxCompare launched in 2026 as part of a small portfolio of independent public-data sites. It has been maintained and updated continuously since.
