72k in NY is just above poverty. 77k in Texas is upper middle class.

Texas doesn't have a state income tax

You forget NYC residents tax and the MTA tax your utilities.

New York : Federal Income Taxes + State Income Taxes Texas : Federal Income Taxes only

Our sales tax is 8.25 in tx

If you were in NYC there is county income tax and city income tax which comes down to another 8-9%

I prefer NY bc cold weather, public transportation, and there's some affordable housing in the outskirts of New York City. That's only if you make 6 figures to live a good life there

NY baby but you should really compare cities like Dallas to Whiteplains, NY. You can only compare Manhattan or Brooklyn to San Francisco, Paris, Toronto, London, and etc. Upstate NY property taxes is dirt cheap compared to downstate NY.

I’m from NYC, and 100k will keep you in the hood, while 100k in Houston or Dallas would let you live comfortably in a nice neighborhood.

You forget to mention that homes are very affordable in Texas

Great info, but including cost of things like housing the gap grows large

In texas you need a car = $600 car + insurance $200 = $800 monthly + gas $150 = TOTAL : $11400 year ,(don't count repairs). Subway in NYC is $2.75 per ride or unlimmitted ride for $33 weekly, that's it. we could go on...

To everyone telling him texas doesn't have a state tax, I think he's accounting for federal and state income state for NY and just federal in TX.

Thank you my other Texans for explaining to this man that we do not have state income tax and our sales taxes 8.25%, but to all you other people that want to come to Texas don't we're running out of resources right now

NEW York grid ever fail?

Live in NY the property taxes will account for waaaaaayyy more than 6k

My property tax in Texas is 7.5% of my gross income. He is ignoring the School Taxes that are a huge take

NY can keep the lights on 💡🥶. We also won’t die if the A/C goes out for a week.

New York City isn't the whole state. People aren't getting that when discussing costs of living, services, etc.

don't care... Ill take New York any day!!!!!

You will not make $100k in Texas. You will make $65k

You forgot to add in the State and City Income Tax if in New York City. The real estate taxes in Texas are higher than you quoted....about 2.5 %...?not 1.8%.

There is a difference b/n NY as state and NYC as city. You can live comfortably in NY other cities with 100K. Upstate NY, 100k a whole lot. 40 minutes away from NYC. You don’t have to live in nyc if u can’t afford it.

What if we include car insurance or public transportation costs?

Companies know cost living taxes and all those tricks so they will lower wages to match cost of living.

The TX sales tax is 8.25% when you include the local taxes, which are collected everywhere in the state except some rural areas.

NOT worth the move out of NY

Not sure what the sudden urge is for everyone to compare a state to Texas. Every state has its perks but comparing income doesn’t make sense. It’s like rent in San Francisco would completely ruin my income but here in Pennsylvania it’s fairly decent.and I can afford a higher standard of living.

Texas has 8.25% sales tax.

This is slightly misleading, since if you live in the city or southern upstate NY, you almost definitely go to NJ to shop (which has a sales tax of 6.625% and tax exemption of all clothing items)

I want to have my lights on in case of a Storm, so therefore NYC baby.

72K is $6000 per month. The average apartment in NYC is $3000-$4000 for a small old crappy ugly apartment! Doesn’t include a parking spot! Parking spot is around $500. Per month. In San Antonio or Houston you can buy a home with a mortgage of around $3000 per month including property, taxes, and hazard insurance. With a 20 year mortgage you’ll own your home! Also it should increase in value around 100% minimum that’s 5% per year! Renting an apartment in NYC air the Bronx! Your rent will increase 5-10% per year minimum! Over 10’years your rent will double and your net income may not! The choice is simple! Work from home and buy a house in upstate NY!

Texas doesn't have state taxes but it makes up for it by increasing property tax and sales tax and tolls on every road. It's the same story in Florida. property tax thru the roof. high insurance premiums.

If you are living in NY please don't move to Texas. It gets unbelievably exhausting hearing how much better NY is.

Choosing between New York and Texas is like choosing between getting shot in the left kidney or getting shot in the right kidney

This situation is exactly what our forefathers fought against great Britain for and now here we are paying taxes on everything and the government isn't using that money for the people

These comparisons never take into account the deductions you can claim at the end of the year. There's also things like hospitality taxes, hunting and fishing licenses, annual excise taxes on vehicles, annual vehicle inspections and registration fees and a host of small things like speeding fines, tolls, fuel taxes, tobacco and alcohol taxes. I'd like to see an accurate table with all taxes and fees.

If you consider the cost of living in each state, the decision is even easier.

Still Tx, and preferably in Austin. I would rather sweat than freeze. or, maybe both, NY during summer and Austin during winter.

Texas is hot, humid, flat and ugly. If you picked up the city of Houston and dropped it in Oklahoma you wouldn't know the difference.

As someone from Texas a few things I'd like to point out: 1. You have to own a car in Texas, you don't in new york. 2. The Texas equivalent of a 100k NY job is not paying 100k, more like 60-80k. 3. These days, outside of rural Texas, 100k is not high income, its not even upper middle class, its more like lower middle class, like barely able to buy a home level, unless you really save or move way far out of the city center and want to spend 1+ hours commuting every day to get to the office. Comparing 100k in Texas to 100k in NY is a total apples and oranges comparison.

In net York you would probably make more money, since the gdp per capita is higher, so ima say new york

I’m too black for TX and I’m an immigrant that STILL has bad experiences here in the NORTH 😅 I’m good in NY 😭 so sorry but on of those bad experiences was LAST NIIIGHT 🥹🤣👁️👄👁️🥲🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️

The more I see your videos the more I wonder if you're some high school kid just making up numbers. This video makes absolutely no sense. Property tax has nothing to do with income tax.

Sale tax in TX is between 6.25 and 8.25 percent with most locations charging 8.25 percent so please double check your info

The cities in Texas vary greatly, too. A loft in Austin is easily $3k/mo. Property taxes are wild in the city (7%?) but less in the burbs.

Texas does NOT have income tax!

That’s misleading. NY Sales’s Tax is 4 percent- their state default rate is 7 percent. Texas’s sales tax is 6.25 percent, however, 97 percent of locations have a local sales tax bringing the total to 8.20 percent.

The video didn't talk about th weather, the things to do, see and facilities

Can you do NY vs Georgia?

NYC all day everyday.

Texas is cheaper than this. You need to also take into account cost of living by factoring difference in consumer price index.

Are you comparing New York City or the State of New York?

You forgot the nyc tax which is close to 4%. So in actuality you would only take home about $68,000 in New York

If you’re going to move states for taxes, you might as well move countries because the difference is negligible.

Why all this taxation? Have you seen a government pick up truck in either state that’s more than three years old? The spending is out of control everywhere. We revolted against England for far less taxation

Do your own research people and don't rely on misinformation on YT. Texas numbers in this Short do not represent the entire state. Sales tax is 6.25 but in many places it is 8.25 percent. Same with property taxes. This depends on the area of Texas where someone lives. It can be closer to 3%.

ChannelClownCreator forgot about state tax in NY.

So PLEASE GOD, don’t come to Texas

Nobody chooses where they want to live based on this analysis. They choose based on where they can get a job, where they have family, what kind of culture they want to live in.

In nyc theirs a higher chance that your average person already makes 100k but in Texas 100k is way above the average

NEW YORK every time!

I'd rather live in Texas even if I made $100,000 more living in New York

Wrong, you need to deduct social security and Medicare from the gross income as well in both states

You can live for 100k like a king in Nebraska in the middle of nowhere. Cheaper than in Texas and Florida and NYC both

It's a lot easier to make 100k in NYC than in Dallas. You don't need a car note here either.

STOP!!!! Texas doesn’t have state taxes

That 5.3K makes all the difference..

NYC (native) because I hate living around MAGATs that tote 50 caliber rifles all day (direct experience of a cousin who went to school down there). Also: fewer hurricanes, oil spills and tornadoes up in NYC (for now) and like one other comment: reliable power grid.

Nor does TX have motor vehicle taxes.

NY Hated Texas But luv Florida!

Most of Texas had county property tax which basicly doubles it.

I love these shorts but ,It glossed over the 3.44% 3,441 in NYC . So if you live in the metropolitan area then: net income is $68,559.00 vs 78,000 I work in NYC and have grossed 100k in the past. There are also a few minor taxes left out that may decrease your income another few hundred. Probably have to gross about 113k to equal 110k in TX. Leaving NYC , after 20 plus years of w2 servitude ( I could think of more appropriate adjectives to describe W2 work in NYC but it would be unfairly triggering. NYC is at the forefront of # Simon Linguet described all the way back in the 18th century) 1 mil plus for a 450 sqft apt . San-Fran really has nothing on NYC proper ( Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Queens) as far as in-affordability .

Not Texas, plus your property tax estimation is grossly underestimated.

Hey you forgot most counties in texas add 2% to sales tax brining it usually to 8.25%

Avg property tax in the major metro areas and suburbs is more like 2.1-2.5% in TX.

What the difference in income between the two though? A job that pays $100,000 in Texas probably pays $150,000 in New York.

NY has a sales tax of 8.75% not 8%

They’ll come and request more money at the end of the year if you make that in TX filing single.

I'd absolutely hate living in either place.

A simple google search could have reveal Texas does not have an income tax 🤦🏽‍♂️

Its good to see what a baseline salary looks like in each state but its a bit deceptive. Sure, texas is cheaper but you also make less money on average then NY or California for example. I worked at a company that hired in both Texas and California and the same job had a 10% salary difference.

Absolutely NY. The weather sucks in Texas upstate NY is beautiful and not expensive.

Tax rate should be 5% at the most

Except the Appraisal office lists your property for 50% more then it was last year and you have to pay 10k-30k in property tax on a regular sized 4 bedroom home. I live in collin county and I dont know anyone paying less than 10k for property tax

If you live in NYC, you’d also pay NY City Tax

This makes zero sense. #1 Texas doesn’t pay State Income Tax and if they are talking Federal income tax than it doesn’t matter what states you’re in, it’s the same federally based on your income tax bracket. So they’d both be taxed the exact same federally if they both made $100k.

I should upload my check you’re missing a lot more deductions bro

Yeah but New York doesn't have a failing power grid and power companies that charge thousands of dollars after a winter storm lol New York doesn't have a failing hospital system with huge swaths of rural counties having no doctors.

Well texas is really boring

Sales tax here is 21% 🤬

New York because Texas doesn't have solid infrastructure and a lot of the cities are run down

Same. 5000 does little different

This is so confusing. Why is he counting property tax as a percentage of *income*? It should be percentage of your property's value. Yeah and all the miscellaneous NYC state/local taxes not included

I would rather make less and live in Texas. NY is a trash bin full of boxes. The apartments and homes in Texas have walk-in closets bigger than any place in NY. Lol

NY of coarse!

Please can you do Nevada vs. Florida!!

Now talk about the heating costs in texas

Downtown NYC 😢 is beyond higher taxes people owen more taxes 😂

Also you got to take into account that if you make $100k in New York, for the same job, you'd make $85,000 in Texas.
