Minnesota Paycheck Calculator

Minnesota has one of the highest state income tax rates in the Midwest, with a graduated structure reaching 9.85% on taxable income above $183,340 (single) or $304,970 (married filing jointly) in 2026. The brackets are indexed annually for inflation. Lower earners face 5.35% on the first bracket, which starts at $0 with no exempt floor beyond the standard deduction.

Minnesota's standard deduction mirrors federal amounts, and the state allows a deduction for 401(k) contributions consistent with federal treatment. Minnesota does not levy a city income tax in Minneapolis or St. Paul — all workers in Minnesota face the same state-level graduated schedule.

The effective state tax rate for a median Minnesota household is approximately 5.5%–7%, significantly higher than neighboring Wisconsin (top 7.65% but lower starting brackets) or South Dakota (no income tax). Minnesota also has a statewide property tax on homes, but this does not appear as a paycheck deduction.
