How your Minnesota paycheck is calculated

Pre-tax deductions: 401(k) and pre-tax health insurance lower your taxable wages.
Federal income tax: the 2026 IRS brackets after the standard deduction.
FICA: Social Security 6.2% and Medicare 1.45%.
Minnesota tax: applied to your wages after Minnesota's own deductions (standard deduction $15,300 single).
MN Paid Leave: 0.44% of wages up to $184,500.
Net pay = gross pay − taxes − deductions.
