DC taxes every dollar between $60k and $250k at 8.5%. Someone making $60k is living a much different life than someone making $250k in DC.

Federal taxes have like four brackets between those two income levels.

8.5% is higher than VA, MD, PA, WV, etc collect at the $60-$100k bracket.

Ignoring that in no way am I including Pennslytucky and West Virginia in this discussion, income tax is still higher in VA up to 85k or so, and MD's is pretty much always higher than DC's due to local income taxes.

Virginia is 2% on $0-3000, 3% $3001-5000, 5% $5001-17k, and 5.75% $17,001+

DC is 4% $0-10k, 6% $10k-40k, 6.5% $40-60k, and 8.5% (!) $60-$250k

Someone making $80k would pay $4343 in VA and $5,200 in DC. Comparing SALT taxes is tough cause property, vehicles, groceries, alcohol, gas, etc have differing tax rates but the DC income tax _is_ high.
