Average tax change by income quintile

This chart shows the average tax change that North Carolinians of different income levels can expect when tax policies contained in each budget proposal are fully implemented, compared to the state taxes they would have paid under Tax Year 2025 policies. Because average tax change data was not available for the sales tax holiday, this analysis includes the maximum amount households are expected to receive from that policy each year ($60).
