Make a pay recordHow Wisconsin income tax affects a paycheck
Wisconsin uses progressive tax brackets, so the rate applied rises with annual income. Payroll annualizes each paycheck, applies the brackets below, then converts the result back to a per-period amount for the stub.
| Annual income | Rate |
|---|---|
| $0.00 – $14,320.00 | 3.54% |
| $14,320.00 – $28,640.00 | 4.65% |
| $28,640.00 – $315,310.00 | 5.30% |
| $315,310.00 and above | 7.65% |
Worked example: $25/hour in Wisconsin
An hourly employee earning $25.00 an hour, working 80 hours in a bi-weekly period, filing single:
| Gross pay | $2,000.00 |
| Federal income tax (2026 estimate) | −$156.15 |
| Social Security (6.2%) | −$124.00 |
| Medicare (1.45%) | −$29.00 |
| Wisconsin income tax (2024 table) | −$92.73 |
| Net pay | $1,598.12 |
That is 79.9% of gross pay in this estimate. Federal income tax is a 2026 estimate from IRS Publication 15-T Worksheet 1A (standard percentage method, Step 2 not checked, no other Form W-4 adjustments). Social Security is 6.2% up to the 2026 wage base of $184,500. Medicare is 1.45%, plus 0.9% Additional Medicare Tax on wages this employer pays above $200,000. State income tax uses 2024 rate tables that were not re-checked against 2026 state agencies. A bonus typed here is included in the period's wages and is not withheld at the 22% supplemental rate. This is an estimate, not payroll or tax advice.
