If you’re sick of forking over thousands for state and local taxes, it may be time to move.

A report released this week by the Tax Foundation, an independent tax policy research organization, found that people who live in different states face “significantly different” tax burdens. The report examined 26 different state and local taxes including property and income taxes.

Consider: 12.7% of the personal income in high-tax New York goes toward paying state and local taxes, while in low-tax Alaska that number if just 6.5%. “This is a thousands of dollars difference between the two states,” says Nicole Kaeding, an economist with the Tax Foundation.

This means that if you live in a higher tax state, you could end up paying well over $100,000 more in state and local taxes over the course of your lifetime than would residents of lower tax states.

Here are the 10 states with the highest tax burdens.

1. New York

Residents living in the Empire State face the highest tax burden in the nation (in total, 12.7% of their income goes to paying state and local taxes). Per person, New Yorkers paid on average $6,993.42 in annual taxes to their own and other states.

In general, while you almost certainly pay far more in taxes to your own state, out-of-state taxes — such as when you pay sales tax while on vacation — can add up. New Yorkers, for example, pay more than $1,400 in taxes to other states when out of New York.

2. Connecticut

People living in neighboring Connecticut don’t fare much better than their New York neighbors. Their tax burden is 12.6% and total taxes paid per capita were $7,869.38.

New York, Connecticut and New Jersey almost always top the list in terms of tax burden, in part because residents of these states not only pay high taxes in their home state, but also pay high taxes in neighboring states. Many Connecticut and New Jersey residents, for example, also work in New York, so they pay taxes not only in their home state but also in New York. In Connecticut, the per capita out-of-state taxes paid were more than $2,300, the highest in the nation.

3. New Jersey

Residents in the Garden State face a tax burden of 12.2%, the third highest in the nation, and per capita they pay more than $6,900 in taxes. New Jersey, Connecticut and New York are the only three states in the nation with a tax burden above 12%.

4. Wisconsin

While most of the states with the highest tax burdens are in the Northeast or the West, Wisconsin and Illinois are the exceptions to that rule. The tax burden in Wisconsin is 11% and per capita taxes are more than $4,700. Kaeding notes that property taxes in Wisconsin tend to be high, though incomes tend not to be, which is part of why it is a high-tax burden state.

5. Illinois

Like Wisconsin, No. 5-ranked Illinois has a tax burden of 11%. Its per capita taxes are more than $5,230. When you compare these high-tax states to lower tax ones, you notice a stark contrast: Alaska, which has the lowest tax burden in the nation, has a tax burden of just 6.5%, South Dakota (49th) has a tax burden of 7.1%, as does Wyoming.

6. California

Fully 11% of the income in No. 6 ranked California goes toward taxes, and per capita taxes add up to more than $5,230. On the plus side, the tax burden for state residents has gone down a bit (in 1977, for example, it was 12.2%).

7. Maryland

Maryland has the seventh-highest tax burden in the nation at 10.9%. Per capita, residents pay more than $5,900 in taxes to theirs and other states.

8. Minnesota

No. 8-ranked Minnesota has a tax burden of 10.8% and per capita taxes of more than $5,184.

9. Rhode Island

10. Oregon

The tax burden in Oregon is 10.3% with per capita taxes at nearly $4,100. Vermont, Massachusetts, Maine, Hawaii and Pennsylvania round out the next five highest states in terms of tax burdens.
