How North Dakota paycheck tax works
North Dakota has one of the lowest income taxes in the country, with 2026 rates of 0%, 1.95%, and 2.5%. The 0% band is very large: the first $57,625 of wages for single filers ($57,500 married, $78,475 head of household) is taxed at 0%, so many moderate-income workers have $0 of state withholding. North Dakota withholds supplemental wages such as bonuses at a flat 1.5%.
The calculator annualizes your pay, then runs North Dakota's 2026 graduated withholding alongside federal income tax and FICA. It's a close estimate rather than an exact match: your actual paycheck can differ from your employer's payroll, which may use exact per-period tables.
