Your Numbers
Assumptions + caveats: CA tax estimate uses your selected marginal bracket × full income (simplified — actual liability depends on deductions, capital gains separately, etc.). WA has no state income tax on wages, IRA/401(k) distributions, Social Security, or pensions (a narrow capital-gains tax exists but doesn’t typically apply). 20-year compounding assumes you invest the annual tax savings at the chosen rate. This is a planning tool, not tax advice — consult your CPA before making moves based on these numbers.
