Delaware uses a graduated (progressive) income tax with rates from 0%–6.6%. Higher income brackets are taxed at higher marginal rates. Your effective rate will be lower than the top rate since only income above each threshold is taxed at that rate.
All Payroll Deductions in Delaware
- Federal income tax: 10%–37% (2026 brackets, based on taxable income after $15,000 standard deduction for single filers)
- Delaware state income tax: 0%–6.6%

Delaware vs Federal Tax: What's Different
Your Delaware state tax is calculated on state taxable income (gross minus Delaware's standard deduction of $3,250). Federal tax uses a $15,000 standard deduction (single, 2026). The rates and brackets are independent — state tax is not a deduction from federal tax.
