Wisconsin Take-Home
Take-home pay in Wisconsin: what makes it different
A Wisconsin paycheck loses federal income tax, Social Security (6.2%), Medicare (1.45%) and Wisconsin's progressive state income tax, four brackets from 3.5% to 7.65%, with the 5.3% bracket stretching from about $30,000 to $315,000 and covering nearly every trade salary. No Wisconsin municipality taxes wages, Milwaukee included. A single filer earning $65,000 takes home about $49,100 a year (76%). Enter any gross salary for the exact breakdown. (This page's table applies the 7.65% top-rate figure carried as the effective rate in the site's state-tax dataset, a conservative estimate; most filers' blended rate is lower.)
