How Rhode Island taxes wages
Statutory estimate, not the employer wage table. The calculator uses a standard deduction of $11,200 for a single filer and $22,400 for joint filers and a personal exemption of $5,250 ($10,500 joint). Rhode Island’s rates are 3.75%, 4.75%, and 5.99%. The standard deduction and exemption phase out at high incomes. That phaseout is not applied here. Temporary disability insurance is not included until the employee rate is confirmed. Source: Rhode Island Division of Taxation.
What is not in the state income tax number
