How Minnesota taxes income

Minnesota taxes income progressively across 4 brackets, from 5.35% on the first dollars to 9.85% above $193,240.

The headline top rate is the number people quote, but it is not what most people pay. At $60,000 of taxable income the effective Minnesota rate is about 6.03%; at $150,000 it is 6.82%. Only income above $193,240 is taxed at the top rate.

What actually reaches your account

To make it concrete: $50,000 gross leaves roughly $38,235 after federal, FICA and $2,940 of Minnesota tax; $80,000 gross leaves roughly $58,500 after federal, FICA and $4,980 of Minnesota tax; $120,000 gross leaves roughly $83,752 after federal, FICA and $7,868 of Minnesota tax. Single filer, standard deduction, no retirement contributions. Adding a 401(k) reduces state and federal tax together, so real take-home for a saver runs higher than shown.

Bracket tables are 2026 state rates; federal figures assume the standard deduction and no pre-tax contributions. See our methodology.

How much will I take home from a $75,000 salary in Minnesota?
Your take-home depends on filing status, 401(k) contributions, and other deductions. Use the calculator above with your actual numbers — it factors federal tax (12-22% at $75K), FICA (7.65%), and Minnesota state tax for an accurate estimate.
