Georgia Paycheck Calculator
Estimate your Georgia take-home pay after federal, state, and FICA taxes.
Georgia switched to a flat income tax and keeps cutting it: the rate drops to 4.99% for 2026, applied after a generous standard deduction. That makes a Georgia paycheck simpler to estimate than it used to be.
Enter your hourly or salary pay below and the calculator gives you your Georgia take-home pay, with federal tax, FICA, and the state's flat income tax already taken out at 2026 rates.
How Georgia paycheck tax works
Georgia has a flat income tax rate of 4.99% for 2026. Withholding subtracts a standard deduction ($15,000 single / $30,000 married filing jointly) and a $5,000 allowance per dependent; Georgia no longer has a separate personal exemption. The flat 4.99% rate also applies to supplemental wages such as bonuses.
The calculator annualizes your pay and applies Georgia's 2026 flat-rate withholding on top of federal income tax and FICA. Treat the result as a close estimate; your employer may withhold from per-period tables that differ slightly.
