What to do next
How it works
The calculator starts from your income after pre-tax contributions, subtracts Wisconsin's standard deduction and personal exemptions where they exist, and applies a graduated state income tax with 4 brackets from 3.5% to 7.65%. Personal credits come off the tax. Wisconsin allows a standard deduction of up to $13,960 for single filers that shrinks as income rises and a personal exemption of $700.
Things to keep in mind
Wisconsin has no local income taxes. Itemized deductions and state-specific credits are not applied, so filers with large deductions will owe less than shown.
Some Wisconsin rules, such as high-income phase-outs or special rates on certain income, are left out of this estimate. The state revenue department's own calculator or instructions have the full detail.
