Understanding your South Dakota paycheck

When you receive your paycheck in South Dakota, it’s essential to understand the various deductions and taxes. This article will cover all the various components.

In South Dakota, as in every state, you are subjected to federal income taxes. There also is a federal payroll tax called FICA (Federal Insurance Contributions Act). Both employees and employers contribute to FICA, each paying 7.65% of the employee’s gross wages.

For employees earning over $200,000, an additional 0.9% Medicare surtax applies. Self-employed individuals are responsible for the entire FICA tax, totaling 15.3%.

The details on your Form W-4 determine the amount of the withholding. Your pay frequency also affects the size of your paycheck.

Next, your marital status plays a role in determining the amount of income tax withheld. Married individuals generally have lower tax rates than single filers. Additionally, contributions to retirement or health savings accounts can reduce your taxable income and the amount of taxes withheld from your paycheck. These contributions are known as pre-tax deductions.

South Dakota is one of the few states with no income tax. Furthermore, there are no state payroll taxes. Since there is no state income tax, there is no need for standard deduction or personal exemptions.

Lastly, post-tax deductions may be taken from your paycheck after taxes have been withheld. These deductions can include wage garnishments, child support payments, or after-tax contributions to retirement accounts.
