it is quite shocking
I was surprised at my paycheck and how much was taken out for state tax. It seems to vary based on your income level. Mine seems to be between 5 and 6% that is taken out which is a chunk when your salary is paid monthly. But we just filed our tax returns and were pleased that we did get a large refund for state tax. We live in PA before and would either break even or owe a small amount or occasionally get a tiny amount back. Here we got a good chunk back. Of course in comparison with what was taken out in each state and what you get back it's relative.
