How Wisconsin paycheck tax works

Wisconsin has a progressive income tax; 2026 payroll withholding uses rates of 3.54%, 4.65%, 5.30%, and 7.65% (these withholding rates differ slightly from the annual-return statutory rates). Withholding subtracts a sliding-scale standard deduction that shrinks as income rises (single: $6,702 maximum, phasing out between $17,780 and $73,630), plus $400 per WT-4 allowance. Wisconsin publishes no flat supplemental rate; bonuses use the regular (aggregate) method.

The calculator annualizes your pay, then runs Wisconsin'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.
