How Minnesota Payroll Taxes Work
Minnesota uses a progressive state income tax structure with an effective rate of approximately 6.8% for most middle-income earners. Higher earners pay a larger percentage as income increases through the brackets.
Federal income tax is calculated separately using the 2026 IRS marginal brackets from 10% to 37%, plus FICA taxes - Social Security at 6.2% on wages up to $184,500 and Medicare at 1.45% on all earnings. The total deduction stack can be significant for Minnesota residents compared to no-tax states.
Traditional 401(k) contributions and pre-tax health insurance premiums reduce your taxable income at both the federal and Minnesota state level, making them especially valuable for residents in higher tax brackets.
