Money.
Earlier this year, Go Banking Rates.Com released numbers on how far a $100 bill will go in each state, and it's no surprise that in California, it's not going as far as it is in Wyoming.
If you have a crisp new $100 bill and walk into a store in California, it's only worth $87.50. If you take that same crisp new $100 bill to a store in Wyoming, it will be worth $108.10.
You're wondering how that works, so here's how Go Banking Rates.com figured it out.
GOBankingRates ranked the states where $100 is worth the most and least and provided supplemental factors, such as median household income as sourced from the 2022 American Community Survey, annual cost-of-living expenditures as sourced from the Bureau of Labor Statistics: 2022 Consumer Expenditure, and typical home value for a single family residence as sourced from Zillow.
To go further down the rabbit hole, Arkansas is where you will get the most out of your $100 bill. It is worth $113.40.
