Minnesota Paycheck Calculator

This is the CalcPaid paycheck calculator with Minnesota already selected. Enter your pay and how often you are paid, and it estimates your 2026 take-home pay after federal income tax, Social Security, Medicare, Minnesota income tax and MN Paid Leave.

It runs the same calculation as the US Paycheck Calculator. If you work in a different state, choose it in the calculator above.

Everything is calculated in your browser. Your figures are never sent to a server, written to the address bar or stored. The site uses Google Analytics to count visits, which sees that this page was opened, not what you typed into it. The privacy page has the detail.

• Minnesota income tax rises in three steps. If you are single, the calculator charges 5.35% on the first $33,310 of Minnesota taxable income, 6.8% from $33,310 to $109,430, 7.85% from $109,430 to $203,150 and 9.85% on everything above $203,150. If you are married filing jointly, the same rates apply, stepping up at $48,700, $193,480 and $337,930; if you are married filing separately, at $24,350, $96,740 and $168,965; and if you are head of household, at $41,010, $164,800 and $270,060.
• Pre-tax deductions lower your Minnesota wages. Health, dental and vision premiums, FSA and HSA contributions, traditional 401(k) contributions and any other pre-tax deduction you enter all come off your pay before Minnesota tax is worked out.
• A standard deduction comes off next. The calculator subtracts a standard deduction of $15,300 if you are single or married filing separately, $30,600 if you are married filing jointly and $23,000 if you are head of household, then applies the rates to what is left. It subtracts no exemption and takes no credit off the tax.
• MN Paid Leave is taken out as well, at the most an employer may deduct. The calculator takes out 0.44% of your wages for MN Paid Leave, charged on the first $185,000 you earn in 2026, so it comes to no more than $814 for the year. The $185,000 limit is the Social Security wage limit rounded to the nearest $1,000, as Minnesota law sets it. The 0.44% is the most an employer may deduct: half of the 0.88% premium. An employer may deduct less, or nothing; if yours does, your pay is higher than the calculator shows. Premiums start on 1 January 2026.
• Which wages it is charged on is an assumption. The calculator charges it on the same wages as Social Security and Medicare: health, dental and vision premiums, FSA and HSA contributions and other pre-tax deductions reduce them, and 401(k) contributions do not. That has not been confirmed against a 2026 Minnesota source.
• Nothing else is added for Minnesota. The calculator takes out no other Minnesota payroll contribution and no city or county income tax.
• Checked at the source. CalcPaid’s 2026 data records the incomes at which each Minnesota rate starts, for all four filing statuses, and the standard deduction amounts as checked against the Minnesota Department of Revenue’s published 2026 inflation-adjusted amounts, and the $185,000 MN Paid Leave wage limit against Minnesota law. The 0.88% premium and the half of it an employer may deduct come from Minnesota Paid Leave program guidance rather than the law itself.

The result is an annualized estimate rather than an exact payroll withholding calculation. Your employer’s payroll system works pay period by pay period, using the withholding forms you filed and your year-to-date pay — information this calculator does not have — so the figure on a given paycheck can fall either side of the one shown here.

Your pay stub is the authority on what was actually withheld, and your tax return is the authority on what you finally owe for the year.

A single filer earning $75,000 in Minnesota and paid every two weeks takes home about $57,686 a year in 2026: $4,807 a month, or $2,219 a paycheck.

Filing status changes the figure: married filing jointly on the same salary takes home about $61,917, and a head of household about $60,243.

Minnesota taxes wages in brackets: each rate applies only to the part of taxable income, the pay left after the deductions Minnesota allows, that falls inside its band.

On top of income tax, state payroll contributions take about $330 a year from a $75,000 salary.

What a single filer paid every two weeks takes home in Minnesota in 2026 at six salaries, and what a married couple filing jointly takes home on the same pay.
