Minnesota income tax in 2026
Minnesota taxes income at 5.35%, 6.8%, 7.85% and 9.85% after a standard deduction of $15,300 ($30,600 on a joint return) in 2026.
This is an estimate, not a verified result. Minnesota's 2026 bracket thresholds and standard deduction come from the Department of Revenue's published inflation-adjusted amounts. We could not open the Department's rate page or the Paid Leave site directly, so the four tax rates and the 0.44% Paid Leave share come from search excerpts of those pages, and a 2026 law that amended the bracket statute has not been reviewed.
Income left after the allowances below is taxed in bands; the top rate is 9.85%.
- Standard deduction: $15,300 for single filers, $30,600 for married couples filing jointly and $23,000 for heads of household.
- Minnesota Paid Leave premium (employee share): 0.44% of wages up to $184,500 a year (at most $811.80).
- Exemptions and credits for dependents, age or blindness are not applied.
- Your employer collects the full 0.44% Paid Leave share from your pay.

Federal taxes on wages in 2026
Federal income tax is charged on your wages after the standard deduction: $16,100 for single filers, $32,200 for married couples filing jointly and $24,150 for heads of household. Each slice of the remaining income is taxed at its own rate, so moving into a higher bracket never reduces your pay.
Social Security takes 6.2% of wages up to $184,500. Medicare takes 1.45% of all wages, plus 0.9% on wages above $200,000 ($250,000 for married couples filing jointly, $125,000 if married filing separately).
| Taxable income | Rate |
|---|---|
| $0 – $12,400 | 10% |
| $12,400 – $50,400 | 12% |
| $50,400 – $105,700 | 22% |
| $105,700 – $201,775 | 24% |
| $201,775 – $256,225 | 32% |

Common questions
- Why is my actual paycheck different from this estimate?
- Employers withhold tax using your Form W-4 and each pay period on its own, while this calculator estimates your tax for the whole year. Benefits, bonuses, a second job or a spouse's income also change the result.
- Does the calculator include tax credits?
- No. Credits such as the child tax credit or the earned income credit depend on your household and are not applied, so your real tax can be lower.
- Are 401(k) contributions taxed?
- Traditional 401(k) contributions are not subject to federal income tax when you make them, but Social Security and Medicare still apply to that pay.
