New Mexico Paycheck Calculator
New Mexico has a graduated income tax with five brackets from 1.7% to 5.9%. The top rate of 5.9% applies to income over $210,000 (single) or $315,000 (married filing jointly). For most New Mexico workers, the marginal rate is 4.9% (on income between $36,000–$210,000 for single filers). New Mexico's rates are moderate compared to surrounding states like California but higher than no-income-tax states like Nevada or Texas.
New Mexico does not have city income taxes in Albuquerque, Santa Fe, Las Cruces, or Rio Rancho. The state income tax is the only sub-federal income tax on wages. New Mexico also has no SDI program.
New Mexico updated its income tax structure in 2019 to create additional brackets at higher income levels, departing from the simpler structure that had a top rate of 4.9% for most workers. The state's standard deduction is tied to federal amounts. Pre-tax 401(k) and HSA contributions reduce New Mexico taxable income through federal AGI conformity.
