How North Dakota taxes your paycheck

North Dakota has one of the lowest income taxes in the nation: the first roughly $48,475 of taxable wages is taxed at 0%, then 1.95%, with a top rate of just 2.5%, all after a $16,100 standard deduction. The calculator above applies this single-filer schedule to estimate your North Dakota withholding.

That structure means many workers owe little or no state income tax at all — a large slice of income falls in the 0% band, and even high earners top out at 2.5%, far below what most graduated-tax states charge.

Among the lowest in the country

North Dakota's 2.5% ceiling makes it one of the cheapest income-tax states for wage earners, effectively behaving almost like a no-tax state for many. No North Dakota city or county levies its own wage tax, so the state's low schedule plus federal income tax and FICA is the complete set of deductions on your pay.
