Methodology
Every row is a verbatim sentence read from the named source's own page through the estate's fetch service on the date shown, hash-pinned to the stored read (the sha of the page's visible text; the raw page is mirrored to R2).
14 of the 39 named sources that could be read published a usable figure; 24 published none and are recorded as not published, never filled in; 6 could not be read (blocked, dead or unreachable) and count nowhere.
The headline figures (median, minimum, maximum, quartiles) are over ONE figure per source in % (a source's median where its page yielded several accepted sentences), so N counts sources, never sentences; 182 candidate sentence(s) were refused by a reviewer with the reason recorded.
Derivation as chartered: one row per jurisdiction per withholding element - state income tax rate or bracket set, the standard deduction and exemption allowance the employer applies, any local or county tax, the state UI taxable wage base and rate band, and the state's own paid-leave or transit levy - each quoted from that state's revenue department or labour agency; the FIGURE is the cross-state comparison nobody publishes: the same gross wage netted through all 51 withholding regimes, ranked, with the spread between the highest-withholding and lowest-withholding state and the changed-since on every rate-year turn
182 candidate sentences on these pages were refused by a reviewer; each refusal and its reason is recorded in the review ledger.
