How This Calculator Works
Wisconsin has a graduated income tax with 4 rates, from 3.50% up to 7.65%, which starts at $332,720 of taxable income for single filers and $443,630 for married couples filing jointly. Before the rates apply, Wisconsin gives a standard deduction of $13,960 ($25,840 for married couples filing jointly) and a personal exemption of $700 per filer. Long-term capital gains get a break: 30% of them is left out of Wisconsin taxable income.
A single filer earning $75,000 in wages pays about $2,944 in Wisconsin tax, 3.9% of pay. That is 18th of 51, near the middle, and $348 more than the typical state ($2,596). A married couple earning $150,000 pays about $6,970.
Wisconsin’s standard deduction slides down as income rises and reaches zero for high earners.
