Living in Yonkers vs commuting in
This is the part people get wrong. Yonkers charges different amounts depending on whether you live inside the city limits or only work there, so two colleagues doing the same job for the same salary can take home different amounts.

Yonkers compared with other cities
Take-home on the same $75,000 single salary, so the only thing changing is state and local tax:
| City | Take-home on $75,000 | vs Yonkers |
|---|---|---|
| Yonkers, NY | $57,483 | — |
| New York City, NY | $55,600 | −$1,882 |
| Philadelphia, PA | $56,478 | −$1,005 |
| Pittsburgh, PA | $57,040 | −$443 |
| Columbus, OH | $58,371 | +$888 |
| Cleveland, OH | $58,371 | +$888 |
| Cincinnati, OH | $58,896 | +$1,413 |
A no-income-tax state like Texas or Florida would leave about $61,593 from the same salary — $4,110 more than Yonkers. That gap is real, but so is the cost of living on either side of it, which is why the honest comparison is always take-home relative to rent, not take-home alone.
