Remote jobs, sorted by the state you live in

Where you live decides more about a remote job than the title does. It sets what you owe in state income tax, whether two states can tax the same paycheck, and how many hours a day you share with the team. This board starts from your state.

Start with the question that actually costs money

No wage income tax

9 states tax no wage income at all. That is a raise of several percent for the same job — but only if your employer can legally pay you there.

The double-taxation trap

6 states apply a convenience-of-the-employer rule: work remotely for your own convenience and they tax you anyway, even as a nonresident. Your home state may tax the same income.

Time zones decide your day

A Pacific-time worker on an Eastern-time team starts at 6am to catch standup. Every listing here shows the overlap in hours, in your local time.
