Why State Changes the Answer

Two contracts with identical weekly grosses can differ by $400+/month in take-home. Three state-level variables drive the gap: state income tax (0% in nine states, up to 13%+ elsewhere), GSA stipend ceilings (which cap the tax-free share of your package), and housing costs (which decide whether the stipend is profit or pass-through). Each state calculator pre-loads all three so the default numbers are already realistic.
