How Minnesota taxes your paycheck in 2026

Minnesota runs a genuinely progressive income tax with four brackets from 5.35% to 9.85%. Notably, even the bottom 5.35% rate is higher than the top flat rate in states like Arizona or Pennsylvania, so Minnesota workers feel state tax from the first dollar of taxable income.

Minnesota's 2026 income tax brackets

2026 Minnesota income tax brackets — single filer (Minnesota DOR)

Approximate inflation-indexed 2026 thresholds. Minnesota offers a standard deduction near the federal amount, applied before these brackets.

The Minnesota standard deduction

Minnesota provides a standard deduction close to the federal figure (about $14,950 single / $29,900 married for 2026), which this calculator subtracts before the brackets. Above that, a typical middle-income worker lands in the 6.8% band.

💡

Higher than it looks: Because Minnesota's lowest 5.35% rate already tops many states' flat rates, even modest earners pay meaningful state tax — a $72,000 single filer faces an effective state rate near 5%.

Comparing Minnesota to other states

Minnesota's top 9.85% rivals Oregon and California for the highest in the nation. Compare with neighboring Wisconsin to see a slightly gentler progressive system.
