Minnesota Paycheck Calculator

How the Minnesota estimate works

Enter gross pay for one pay period, federal W-4 adjustments, and the state details shown above. Federal withholding follows Publication 15-T. Minnesota annualizes the paycheck, subtracts $5,300 for each W-4MN allowance, applies the 2026 single or married computer-formula brackets, and returns the result to the selected pay period before adding the employee’s requested additional amount. Minnesota Paid Leave is a separate employee deduction using the employer’s actual chargeback rate, capped at 0.44%, on wages up to the program’s rounded $185,000 wage base.

Example: For $5,000 of monthly wages, single status, and two allowances, Minnesota annualizes $60,000 and subtracts $10,600. The 2026 formula produces $213.05 per month before any additional W-4MN withholding. The calculator does not assume any unentered benefit deduction or invent a tax result.

Weekly, biweekly, semimonthly, and monthly are the supported paycheck frequencies. “Annual salary” is an earnings input and the annual view is a simple period multiplication; neither is an annual payroll-period method. The special Form W-4 adjustment for nonresident aliens is not modeled.
