Delaware Income Tax Overview

Delaware has a six-bracket progressive income tax with rates from 0% (income under $2,000 is tax-free) up to 6.6%. Delaware is famous as a business incorporation hub — most Fortune 500 companies are incorporated there — but for wage earners, the income tax is moderate. There is no statewide sales tax in Delaware, which improves overall purchasing power. Delaware's 6.6% top rate on income above $60,000 means middle-to-upper earners face a meaningful state tax burden. No Delaware city charges a local income tax. Delaware allows a standard deduction of $3,250 for single filers. Compared to neighboring Maryland (which adds county income taxes on top of state rates) and Pennsylvania (flat 3.07%), Delaware falls in the middle for take-home pay.
