Take-home pay in Nebraska for 2026: state income tax, federal income tax from the 2026 IRS tables, Social Security and Medicare, for salary or hourly pay.
Taxes on a Nebraska paycheck
Nebraska withholds 2.26% to 4.6% of wages in 2026, after $2,440 per allowance on Form W-4N. Your paycheck also has federal income tax, withheld with the 2026 IRS tables and your Form W-4, plus Social Security and Medicare.
How Nebraska withholding is figured
- Your employer subtracts $2,440 a year (for example $93.85 biweekly) for each allowance on Form W-4N, then applies the 2026 percentage tables (2.26% to 4.6%).
- If that comes to less than 1.5% of your wages, the employer withholds at least half of what a single person with one allowance (married with two) would have withheld, unless you document a lower amount.
