How Minnesota taxes a paycheck

Minnesota taxes wages in brackets, 5.35% to 9.85% for a single filer. Each rate applies only to the part of taxable income inside its bracket.

A single filer subtracts a $15,300 standard deduction before the state rate applies.

Minnesota paycheck questions

How much is taken out of a paycheck in Minnesota?

On the Minnesota median wage of $56,920 (BLS, May 2025), paid every two weeks, about $436.61 of a $2,189.23 paycheck goes to tax: $178.86 federal income tax, $167.48 Social Security and Medicare, and $90.28 Minnesota income tax. That leaves $1,752.62.

This assumes a single filer with the standard deduction and no pre-tax deductions such as 401(k) or health premiums, which would lower both the tax and the check.

Does Minnesota have a state income tax?

Yes. Minnesota taxes wages in brackets, 5.35% to 9.85% for a single filer. Each rate applies only to the part of taxable income inside its bracket. The rules come from Minnesota Department of Revenue.

What is the Minnesota income tax rate for 2026?

For a single filer the rates run 5.35% to 9.85%. The bracket table on this page shows where each rate starts.

How much is $1,000 a week after taxes in Minnesota?

About $806.72 a week, or $41,949 a year, for a single filer with the standard deduction in 2026. Federal income tax takes about $78.08 a week and Social Security and Medicare $76.50; Minnesota income tax about $38.71.

Why is my real paycheck different from this estimate?

Employers withhold with the IRS percentage method and your W-4, not with an annual estimate split into pay periods. Pre-tax deductions such as a 401(k), health insurance or an HSA lower your taxable pay, and bonuses are often withheld at a flat supplemental rate. Over a full year the two should come close; a single check can differ.
