What affects weekly take-home pay?

Even at the same annual salary, actual weekly pay can vary because payroll systems may withhold bonus income differently, benefits can be deducted unevenly, and some compensation may not be paid every pay period. State income tax can make one offer look much better or worse than another. This is why comparing the federal-only estimate across nearby salaries is useful: it shows the marginal improvement in take-home before local and personal factors reshape the result.
