How Oklahoma taxes your paycheck in 2026
Under House Bill 2764, Oklahoma collapsed six brackets into three and cut its top rate from 4.75% to 4.5% effective January 1, 2026. The Oklahoma Tax Commission applies 2.5%, 3.5% and 4.5% bands after a standard deduction, with a trigger mechanism set to phase the income tax out entirely if revenue benchmarks are met.
| Rate | Taxable income |
|---|---|
| 2.5% | $0 – $3,750 |
| 3.5% | $3,750 – $4,900 |
| 4.5% | Over $4,900 |
Marginal rates — only income within each band is taxed at that rate. 2026 figures, before the state standard deduction/exemption.
On the road to zero
The 2025 law that cut Oklahoma's rate also built in 0.25-point trigger reductions that will keep lowering the rate — and could eliminate the income tax altogether — whenever the state hits specified revenue growth targets. The brackets are not indexed for inflation.
