Wisconsin Paycheck FAQ
Common questions about paychecks and taxes in Wisconsin
What is the Wisconsin state income tax rate?
Wisconsin has four income tax brackets: 4% on the first $11,120 (single), 5.84% up to $22,230, 6.27% up to $244,750, and 7.65% on income over $244,750. A $10,270 standard deduction applies.
Does Wisconsin have a generous standard deduction?
Yes. Wisconsin's $10,270 standard deduction for single filers is one of the largest among states that offer one. However, it phases out for higher-income taxpayers.
How does Wisconsin's phaseout work on the standard deduction?
Wisconsin's $10,270 standard deduction begins to phase out as income rises, reducing the deduction for higher earners. This means the effective tax rate increases faster for middle-to-high income workers than the bracket rates alone suggest.
Does Wisconsin tax retirement income?
Wisconsin does not tax Social Security benefits and provides exemptions for certain pension income. However, 401(k) and IRA distributions are generally taxable.
