The standard deduction of $11,200 for single filers is moderate. Rhode Island has no local city income taxes on wages. As the smallest state in the country, Rhode Island has a fairly uniform income tax experience statewide. Compared to neighboring Massachusetts (5% flat for most earners) and Connecticut (2-6.99%), Rhode Island falls in the middle. Providence workers pay only the state rate with no additional city tax. Rhode Island's overall affordability is lower than its income tax burden suggests due to high property costs in the Providence metro area.
