South Dakota Paycheck Calculator

South Dakota is one of nine states with no state income tax on wages, making it one of the most take-home-pay-friendly states in the Midwest. Sioux Falls, Rapid City, Aberdeen, and all South Dakota cities have no local income taxes either. The only mandatory paycheck deductions in South Dakota are federal income tax and FICA.

South Dakota funds its government primarily through sales taxes — the statewide rate is 4.5% with local additions, for a combined average around 6.4%. However, unlike income taxes, sales taxes don't appear on your paycheck — they affect purchasing power rather than gross-to-net pay calculations.

South Dakota has no SDI program, no paid family leave deductions, and no state disability insurance. South Dakota is also one of the few states with no personal income tax, no corporate income tax, and no business gross receipts tax — making it attractive for both employees and business owners.
