Minnesota Income Tax Overview

Minnesota has a four-bracket progressive income tax system with a top rate of 9.85% — one of the highest top rates in the country. Middle earners are also notably impacted: the 6.8% rate kicks in at just $33,310 for single filers, meaning a worker earning $60,000 pays 6.8% on most of their income. Minnesota's standard deduction of $15,300 is relatively generous. Minnesota has no local city income taxes on wages. Compared to neighboring Wisconsin (up to 7.65%), Iowa (3.8% flat), and North Dakota (up to 2.5%), Minnesota's burden is significantly higher — especially for earners in the $100K-$200K range who face the 7.85% bracket. Minneapolis and St. Paul workers pay Minnesota state tax only, with no additional city income tax.
