Georgia income tax rate (2026)
Georgia charges a flat 5.19% on wage income — the same rate whether you earn $30,000 or $300,000. The rate applies after the state standard deduction of $12,000 (single) / $24,000 (married). Flat-rate states are easy to estimate: multiply taxable wages by the rate and you are within a few dollars of the real figure.
