How Georgia taxes wages
Statutory estimate, not the employer wage table. The calculator uses a standard deduction of $15,000 for a single filer and $30,000 for joint filers and a personal exemption of $0 ($0 joint). Georgia taxes wages at a flat 4.99% for 2026 (H.B. 463, signed May 11, 2026, retroactive to January 1, 2026), down from 5.19%, after a $15,000 standard deduction ($30,000 married filing jointly). Each dependent adds a $5,000 exemption. The Department of Revenue’s 2026 Employer’s Tax Guide (updated September 2026) lets employers withhold at 4.99% starting May 11, 2026; earlier 2026 paychecks were withheld at 5.19%, so this calculator shows the current rate.

What is not in the state income tax number
The state line here is income tax only. Federal income tax follows IRS Publication 15-T, and Social Security and Medicare are the same in every state. Georgia has no employee local wage tax in this calculator.
