Understanding your Minnesota income taxes
Minnesota has a progressive state income tax. It features four brackets with rates from 5.35% to 9.85%. The state’s highest rate, 9.85%, is one of the top ten highest state income tax rates in the nation. These rates apply to both individual income and the income of estates and trusts.
Minnesota does not have a state payroll tax. However, like all states, it does require employers to withhold federal payroll taxes.
Minnesota allows taxpayers to claim a standard deduction or itemize their deductions. The standard deduction amounts vary depending on filing status. Additionally, the state offers personal and dependent exemptions.
Calculate your income tax in Minnesota
- Work out your total federal income tax
- Gross income adjusted
Gross income − Pre-tax deductions = Gross income adjusted - Federal taxable income
Gross income adjusted − Federal standard/itemized deductions = Federal taxable income - Federal income tax liability
Federal taxable income × Federal income tax rate = Federal income tax liability - Federal payroll tax liability
Gross income × Federal payroll tax rate = Federal payroll tax liability
- Gross income adjusted
- Calculate your total Minnesota state income tax
- Minnesota state taxable income
Gross income adjusted − (Minnesota state standard/itemized deductions + Minnesota state exemptions) = Minnesota state taxable income - Minnesota state income tax liability
Minnesota state taxable income × Minnesota state income tax rate = Minnesota state income tax liability
- Minnesota state taxable income
- Add up all the taxes
Federal income tax liability + Federal payroll tax liability + Minnesota state income tax liability = Your total income tax liability
