As a Cali resident, can confirm that’d be the case
<:thronk:441701565607444482>
From what I know, London is much worse on all of those things
Maybe not internet
But Cali has fast internet now
>earn more
>pay tons in income, sales, everything tax
Dad works in Silicon Valley, and the pay is great, but he loses most of his income to taxes anyways
Internet is really good and the prices for rent very much differ by how far from central london you get
Silicon Forest then lol
that's another good point @Christopher
>payed less in texas
>keep more for lack of income tax, sales tax exempting rent, utilities, so on
>end up with more money in texas than cali
Oh dont forget cost of living
Texas doesn’t have state tax, right? That’ll save you around 10% more compared to Cali automatically.
I need to research this stuff a lot before i make any decisions considering I will probably live wherever i choose for the rest of my life
No income tax
Sales tax in most cities after factoring state, county and city is around 10%
Give or take a percent
And as i said rent and utilities are generally exempt
But then you pay a sales tax like that in Cali still anyways
No
I'm not saying change it i'm genuinely just curious
Most things are listed as price + tax
It really depends on the store
But most do that due to base price changes
yeah but that seems like a lot of work to calculate it on every thing you buy doesn't it?
Never seen that in Cali. Tax isn’t part of the listed price.
Don't calculate it?
especially if it's not 10%
Does it matter?
It's not like I'm counting every single fucking penny when I pay for shit
I was just curious why it works like that in the US
I never dealt with anything but 10%
it's 8% here
6% in Kentucky
But i always just use base 10 and call it good for estimate
Only good thing no sales tax here
But damn they rape you with income
I'm pretty good at calculating percentages in my head it just seems kinda mean for people who aren't
It's only 6.3% here
