New Jersey does not tax Social Security benefits. New Jersey provides a pension exclusion of up to $75,000 (for income under $100,000), $37,500 (income $100,001–$125,000), and $20,000 (income $125,001–$150,000). Income above $150,000 receives no exclusion. Most New Jersey investors should note that the majority of US states tax capital gains as ordinary income at regular state income tax rates. Federal long-term capital gains tax rates (0%, 15%, or 20%) apply based on your total taxable income.
With a New Jersey median household income of $89,703, investing just 10% per year ($8,970) at an 8% average annual return could grow to $129,944 in 10 years and $410,485 in 20 years.
