How Rhode Island taxes your paycheck

Rhode Island taxes wages on a three-bracket graduated schedule for 2026 — 3.75%, 4.75%, and a top rate of 5.99% — applied after an $11,200 standard deduction. The calculator above uses this single-filer schedule to estimate the Rhode Island tax withheld from your pay.

Even the lowest Rhode Island bracket starts at 3.75%, so there's no near-zero entry rate, but the top rate of 5.99% is moderate and only touches upper-income dollars, leaving most workers with an effective rate in between.

Where Rhode Island lands

Rhode Island's 5.99% top rate is middle-of-the-pack among graduated-tax states, with a solid standard deduction cushioning lower incomes. No Rhode Island city or town taxes wages, so the state's three brackets plus federal income tax and FICA are the complete set of paycheck deductions.
