Open Relocation Tax Calculator →Relocating to Colorado means adjusting to its flat 4.4% state income tax . Whether this helps or hurts depends on where you are coming from.

Colorado's cost of living index of 105 is another crucial factor: a lower salary in a cheaper area can still leave you better off. This calculator compares your current and post-move take-home with Colorado's rates.
