What Comes Out of a Minnesota Paycheck
Four deductions are taken from a standard paycheck in Minnesota, each calculated on a different base:
- Federal income tax — applied to your salary after the federal standard deduction of $16,100 for single filers, then run through seven progressive brackets from 10% to 37%.
- Social Security — 6.2% of wages up to the 2026 wage base of $184,500, capping your contribution at $11,439.
- Medicare — 1.45% of all wages with no ceiling, plus an extra 0.9% on wages above $200,000 for single filers.
- Minnesota income tax — graduated rates from 5.35% to 9.85% on income after the state deduction.
