State With No Retirement Income: Washington

  • Percent of 65 and older population: 12.8%
  • Income Tax Range: None
  • Social Security: None
  • Inheritance and Estate Taxes: No inheritance tax
  • Median rent per month: $1,250
  • Utilities: $120
  • Meal at average restaurant: $12

If you’re in love with a good cup o’ Joe, you should consider retiring in this state. But if you’re not impressed by the coffee, maybe you’ll love the fact that the Evergreen State has NO retirement income tax.

That means that none of your 401(k), IRA, or pension income will take a state tax hit. A study found that Spokane is one of the most budget-friendly places to retire in Washington, but it’s also one of the 50 most low-cost places to retire in the country.

Also, it has the highest percentage of adults 65 years and older among the three cities surveyed in Washington. This city in eastern Washington can offer more cost-effective living costs for retirees than the state’s two other most prominent cities.

The average monthly rent and cost of utilities are more affordable here than in Seattle and Tacoma.

    I noticed that each meal and monthly utilities are way under stated. Utilities include gas electric, water coming into home, water coming out, (sewerage), water drainage from rain, sewerage pipe repair fund. Trash can rental, trash pickup. On natural gas usage if you use below yearly average there is a 45$ payment. If you just have a gas meter there is a 30$ monthly meter charge. I don’t know how you show such a low amount for utilities? In Indiana you must pay 37 cents per gallon of gas for road maintenance and government vehicles and gas usage.
    You need to bring your information up to date.

    And a meal average is 17 dollars, a cup of coffee is 4 dollars. In Ky withdrawal from your 401 is 6 cents tax for every dollar.

    You have to click on each page number and you’ll be taken to the next. It’s not a huge headline, but the names are there. You read, click on the next number and so on.

    Indiana does NOT tax SS benefits and neither does the Federal government IF that is your ONLY source of income. If you are employed in the state of Indiana, then you will be taxed on your employment income by both state and Federal tax.
