Questions
Does Minnesota tax wages?
Minnesota taxes wages. Statutory estimate, not the employer wage table. The top rate used on this page is 9.85%.
Is this the amount an employer will withhold?
Federal withholding uses IRS Publication 15-T. The state line is an estimate of the statutory tax, not the state wage-bracket table, so the stub can differ.
What else is withheld?
Social Security is 6.2% up to $184,500. Medicare is 1.45%, plus 0.9% after $200,000 from one employer. Payroll programs we could verify are listed on the paycheck.
Does Minnesota have local wage tax?
Minnesota has no employee local wage tax in this calculator.
Why might my pay stub differ?
Pre-tax benefits, year-to-date wages, and a different W-4 can change the result. Compare the line citations with the stub.
