Kiplinger\u2019s Magazine researched the total tax burden \u2014 income taxes, property taxes and sales taxes \u2014 for a typical retired couple in each of the 50 states and Washington, DC. And the results are clear: Delaware retirees pay far less in taxes than retirees living anywhere else in the country.<br \/>\nRetirees who live on a fixed income need to choose their place of retirement wisely. With taxes sometimes taking a big chunk of the household budget, retirees should look for areas that offer low taxes overall, and a state with no income tax (like Florida or Texas) isn\u2019t always the answer.<br \/>\nKiplinger\u2019s factored in the finances, expenses and incomes of a hypothetical couple with each state\u2019s average home price and compared the \u201cretirement tax bite\u201d state by state. Living in Delaware, the average retired couple enjoys zero income tax, zero sales tax and relatively low property taxes. According to Kiplinger\u2019s a couple in Delaware can expect to pay about $543 a year in taxes.<br \/>\nTaxes in the runner up state, Alaska, are nearly double that at $1,032 and in Pennsylvania, the country\u2019s least tax friendly place for retirees, couples can expect to pay about $7,391 in taxes.
