Colorado Take-Home
Take-home pay in Colorado: what makes it different
A Colorado paycheck loses federal income tax, Social Security (6.2%), Medicare (1.45%) and a flat 4.4% state income tax with no brackets, so a raise never pushes you into a higher state rate. Employees also pay the FAMLI paid-leave premium: 0.44% of wages in 2026 (half of the 0.88% total, down from 0.45% in 2025). A single filer earning $65,000 takes home about $51,300 a year (~79%) before FAMLI, roughly $286 less after it. Enter any gross salary for the exact breakdown.
