How New Mexico taxes your paycheck

New Mexico uses progressive state income tax brackets, from 1.5% up to 5.9% for a single filer. Higher slices of your income are taxed at higher rates — only the dollars within each bracket pay that bracket's rate.

Local taxes: New Mexico uses the federal standard deduction, which is applied here.

The federal side

Every U.S. worker pays federal income tax (2026 single-filer standard deduction: $16,100, brackets from 10% to 37%), Social Security at 6.2% of wages up to $184,500, and Medicare at 1.45% (plus 0.9% on wages above $200,000 single / $250,000 joint). Your own 401(k) deferrals and pre-tax health/HSA premiums are modeled in the inputs above; employer matches never come out of your paycheck.
