What is the best state to move to for low taxes?

Best overall for low taxes: Wyoming. It has no state income tax and is often one of the strongest choices for people who want low overall tax burden, especially if they value low property taxes and a relatively simple tax picture.

If your priority is strictly avoiding state income tax, also consider Alaska, Florida, Nevada, New Hampshire, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, and Washington. But “best” depends on your income mix, home value, spending, retirement status, and whether you own a business.

Quick verdict:

• Best overall low-tax pick: Wyoming
• Best for retirees: Florida or Tennessee
• Best if you want no income tax and no sales tax: Alaska
• Best for high earners who do not mind higher property taxes: Texas
• Best if you want no income tax but live near the West Coast: Nevada or Washington

Avoid choosing based only on income tax. A no-income-tax state can still be expensive through property taxes, sales taxes, vehicle taxes, insurance costs, or local taxes.
