Nebraska Paycheck Calculator
Nebraska has a graduated income tax with four brackets from 2.46% to 5.84% in 2026. Nebraska has been actively reducing its top rate — it was 6.84% in 2022, reduced to 5.84% in 2026, with further planned reductions to 3.99% by 2027 under LB 873 signed into law in 2022. This makes Nebraska one of the more rapidly improving states for take-home pay.
Nebraska does not levy city income taxes in Omaha, Lincoln, or any other city. All workers face the state graduated rate as the only sub-federal income tax. Nebraska has no SDI program.
Nebraska's standard deduction conforms to federal amounts. Pre-tax 401(k) contributions reduce Nebraska taxable income since the state starts from federal AGI. Nebraska also allows taxpayers to deduct Social Security benefits from state taxable income for certain income levels — relevant for retirees but not typically for working employees with wage income.
