Taxes on a Minnesota paycheck
Minnesota taxes wages at 5.35% to 9.85%. From 2026 employees also pay up to 0.44% of wages for Minnesota Paid Leave. Your paycheck also has federal income tax, withheld with the 2026 IRS tables and your Form W-4, plus Social Security and Medicare.
How Minnesota withholding is figured
- Your employer annualizes your wages, subtracts $5,300 for each allowance on Form W-4MN and applies the 2026 single or married schedule (5.35% to 9.85%), then divides by your number of paychecks.
- W-4MN allowances: 1 for you, 1 if you are single or married with one job and a spouse who does not work, 1 more if married without a working spouse, 1 per dependent and 1 for head of household.
- Minnesota Paid Leave started January 1, 2026: the premium is 0.88% of wages up to the Social Security wage base, and employers may deduct up to half (0.44%) from your pay.
Minnesota payroll deductions in 2026
