Minnesota Paycheck FAQ
Common questions about paychecks and taxes in Minnesota
What is the Minnesota state income tax rate?
Minnesota has four income tax brackets: 5.35% on the first $25,390 (single), 7.05% up to $83,400, 7.85% up to $156,900, and 9.85% on income over $156,900. A $6,300 standard deduction applies.
Is Minnesota a high-tax state?
Yes. The 9.85% top rate ranks in the top five nationally, and even the lowest bracket starts at 5.35%. The $6,300 standard deduction provides some relief, but effective rates are higher than most states.
How does Minnesota's lowest bracket compare to other states?
Minnesota's starting rate of 5.35% is higher than most states' starting rates. Even North Carolina's flat rate (3.99%) is lower than Minnesota's lowest bracket, meaning every Minnesota worker pays at least 5.35% from dollar one after the deduction.
Does Minnesota tax Social Security?
Minnesota has been phasing out its tax on Social Security benefits. Many recipients now qualify for a full or partial subtraction from state taxable income.
