Understanding Your Paycheck Deductions
Federal Income Tax
The federal government taxes income using progressive brackets. In 2026, rates range from 10% to 37%. Your standard deduction ($15,000 single, $30,000 married, $22,500 head of household) reduces your taxable income before brackets are applied. Only income above each threshold is taxed at the higher rate.
State Income Tax
State income tax varies dramatically across the US. Nine states (Alaska, Florida, Nevada, New Hampshire, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Washington, Wyoming) have no state income tax at all. Others range from flat rates as low as 1.95% (North Dakota) to progressive systems topping out at 13.3% (California).
Social Security (FICA)
You pay 6.2% of your gross wages for Social Security, up to the wage base limit of $176,100 in 2026. Your employer matches this amount. Self-employed workers pay both halves (12.4%).
Medicare (FICA)
You pay 1.45% of all wages for Medicare, with no wage base limit. An additional 0.9% Medicare surtax applies to wages exceeding $200,000 (single) or $250,000 (married filing jointly).
