Taxes on a New Mexico paycheck
New Mexico taxes wages at 1.5% to 5.9%. Withholding has no allowances: it starts above $8,050 a year single, $16,100 married or $12,075 head of household. Your paycheck also has federal income tax, withheld with the 2026 IRS tables and your Form W-4, plus Social Security and Medicare.
How New Mexico withholding is figured
- Your employer applies the 2026 withholding table for your filing status: nothing on the first $8,050 a year ($16,100 married, $12,075 head of household), then 1.5%, 3.2%, 4.3%, 4.7%, 4.9% and 5.9% on higher income.
- The calculator uses the annual table divided by your number of paychecks; the per-paycheck tables in FYI-104 are rounded versions of it.
