How State Payroll Taxes Work

Every paycheck is subject to federal income tax (10%–37%), Social Security (6.2% up to $176,100), and Medicare (1.45%). On top of those, most states add their own income tax ranging from 0% to 13.3% (California). Nine states collect no income tax at all.

Your state tax is calculated independently from federal tax. Each uses its own brackets, standard deductions, and exemptions. Select your state above for a precise breakdown.
