About Minnesota paychecks & taxes
Minnesota's brackets run 5.35% to 9.85%, and the striking part is the floor: the very first dollar of taxable income is taxed at 5.35%, higher than many states' top rates. A large standard deduction ($15,300 single) offsets some of that.
There are no local wage taxes in Minnesota. Even so, between the high starting rate and a top rate near 10%, Minnesota consistently ranks among the lower take-home-pay states at upper incomes.
