Not financial, tax, investment, or legal advice. Rates are the top marginal or flat state income-tax rate that applies to a large jackpot in 2026 (0% means the state doesn't tax lottery winnings). Federal tax applies everywhere and is set separately; some cities (e.g. New York City) add a local tax, and your actual liability depends on your full return.

What you'd take home, by state
These are estimates for general information only and are not financial, tax, investment, or legal advice. We apply the federal rate you set plus each state's top marginal or flat income tax rate to the cash jackpot; real liability depends on filing status, deductions, local taxes (e.g. New York City), and changing law, and the figures may be inaccurate or out of date. Nine places don't tax lottery winnings (California, Delaware, Florida, New Hampshire, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Washington, Wyoming); Alabama, Alaska, Hawaii, Nevada and Utah have no state lottery. Don't rely on this tool to make any decision — consult a licensed tax professional.
