- Federal income tax Seven brackets from 10% to 37%, after the federal standard deduction.
- Social Security 6.2% up to the annual wage base, after which it stops entirely.
- Medicare 1.45% with no ceiling, plus 0.9% above 200,000 USD.

- Georgia State Income Tax Flat 4.99% for 2026. HB 463, signed May 2026 and retroactive to 1 January 2026, cut the rate straight from the 2025 figure of 5.19%, skipping the 5.09% step that the earlier HB 111 schedule would have produced. Compiled tables published before May 2026 still show 5.19%. Standard deduction rises to 15,000 single and 30,000 joint in 2027, not 2026. Georgia has no local income taxes.
Local taxes are not included. City and county income taxes sit below the state level and are excluded here. They are material in a few places, averaging roughly 1.6% of AGI across New York, 1.2% in Ohio and 1% in Pennsylvania.
