How take-home pay works in Minnesota

Three taxes come out of a Minnesota paycheck in this model. Federal income tax uses the 2026 brackets and the federal standard deduction ($16,100 single, $32,200 married filing jointly). FICA is a flat 7.65 percent of gross pay (Social Security plus Medicare combined; very high earners hit the Social Security wage cap and the additional Medicare tax, which this simple model does not split out). State tax uses the 2026 Minnesota schedule described below. What remains is take-home pay.

Take-home pay = gross pay minus federal tax minus FICA minus state tax

2026 Minnesota income tax brackets

Source and method: 2026 state figures are from the Minnesota Department of Revenue (the official Minnesota tax authority), cross-checked against the Tax Foundation state income tax rates and brackets table for 2026 at taxfoundation.org. Federal figures are the 2026 IRS brackets and standard deduction used across EveryCalc. State taxable income equals gross pay minus the state standard deduction minus the state personal exemption (floored at $0), then the state schedule applies. This is a simple estimate: no tax credits, no local or city taxes, no itemized deductions. FICA is modeled as a flat 7.65 percent of gross pay; very high earners hit the Social Security wage cap and the additional Medicare tax, which this simple model does not split out.
