Delaware Take-Home
Take-home pay in Delaware: what makes it different
Delaware paychecks lose federal income tax, Social Security (6.2%), Medicare (1.45%) and Delaware state income tax. Delaware's income tax runs from 2.2% to 6.6%, with the top bracket starting at $60,000 of taxable income, so many journeyman salaries sit in the 5.55% band. Wilmington adds a 1.25% city wage tax on work performed inside the city, the only local wage tax in the state. Delaware has no sales tax at all. A single filer earning $65,000 takes home about $49,800 a year (~77%), roughly $4,290 of which goes to the state. Enter any gross salary for the exact breakdown. (This page's table applies the 6.6% effective rate carried in the site's state-tax dataset.)
