Minnesota Paycheck FAQ
Common questions about paychecks and taxes in Minnesota
What is the Minnesota state income tax rate for 2026?
5.35%, 6.8%, 7.85% and 9.85%. Single filers pay 5.35% on taxable income up to $33,310, 6.8% to $109,430, 7.85% to $203,150 and 9.85% above. For married couples filing jointly and surviving spouses the brackets end at $48,700, $193,480 and $337,930; for heads of household at $41,010, $164,800 and $270,060; married filing separately uses half the joint amounts. The Department of Revenue adjusts the brackets for inflation each year, and these are its 2026 figures.
What is Minnesota's standard deduction for 2026?
$15,300 for single and married-filing-separately filers, $23,000 for heads of household and $30,600 for married couples filing jointly and surviving spouses. It's reduced once federal adjusted gross income passes $244,400 ($122,200 married filing separately), which the calculator doesn't model. Minnesota has no personal exemption for you or your spouse, only a $5,300 exemption for each dependent, which the calculator leaves out.
How much Minnesota tax is withheld from a bonus?
6.25% if the bonus is paid separately from your regular wages. If it's paid together with regular wages and listed separately, your employer can either withhold on the total through the regular tables or withhold 6.25% on the bonus.
What does this calculator leave out for Minnesota?
Minnesota starts from federal adjusted gross income, so pre-tax deductions lower your Minnesota taxable income; the calculator starts from gross wages. It uses the full standard deduction at every income, so above $244,400 of federal adjusted gross income ($122,200 married filing separately), where Minnesota reduces it, it shows too little tax, by up to about $1,206 a year single and $2,411 joint once the reduction reaches its 80% cap. It also leaves out the extra standard deduction at 65 or older or blind, dependent exemptions, the marriage credit, the child and working family credits, the alternative minimum tax and Minnesota Paid Leave premiums, which started in 2026.
