Delaware Paycheck Calculator
Delaware has a graduated income tax with six brackets from 2.2% to 6.6%, with the top rate applying to income over $60,000. Delaware is unusual in that it has no sales tax — revenue comes primarily from income taxes and the franchise taxes paid by corporations that incorporate in Delaware.
Wilmington, Delaware's largest city, levies a wage tax of 1.25% on both residents and non-residents working within city limits, plus an additional 1.25% on Wilmington residents on all earned income. Combined, Wilmington residents owe 2.5% local wage tax on top of the state rate. Workers who live in Wilmington but work outside the city still pay the 1.25% resident wage tax on all income.
Delaware has no sales tax, which partially offsets the income tax burden on consumer spending, similar to Montana, New Hampshire, and Oregon. Pre-tax 401(k) contributions reduce Delaware taxable income via federal AGI conformity.
