💡 Colorado Tax Tip for Denver Savers

Colorado has a flat 4.4% state income tax on interest income — but don’t let that stop you from earning more. At 4.30% APY, you’re still clearing well over 4% net even after state taxes, compared to 0.55% at most big banks. And if you’re in a lower income bracket in retirement, your effective state rate may be even less. The math still strongly favors moving your money.
