How we work this out
The one income field is treated as wages and salary, for someone who lives there all year.
A couple is treated as one earner, with the spouse’s pay at 0.
It covers income tax and social contributions.
US figures cover all 50 states and the District of Columbia; local income tax, or a city's per-worker tax or fee, is calculated in 182 places in 13 states (choose your city to see it), and shown as not calculated elsewhere in a state that levies one.
What each government spends it on follows its latest published budget.
