We decided to crunch the numbers. Here's what $75,000 looks like after paying taxes in 11 major US cities:

New York City, NY - $49,896
Washington, DC - $51,696
Los Angeles, CA - $51,960
San Francisco, CA - $51,960
Boson, MA - $52,824
Denver, CO - $53,184
Chicago, IL - $53,592
Seattle, WA - $56,328
Nashville, TN - $56,328
Miami, FL - $56,328
Dallas, TX - $56,328

These numbers don't factor in health insurance and retirement accounts like a 401(K). But judging by the average $75K salary you may be a lot happier in Dallas than in NYC.
