South Dakota take-home pay calculator

South Dakota does not tax wage income. Federal tax, Social Security and Medicare still apply.

What people get wrong about South Dakota

South Dakota levies no individual income tax and, unusually even among the states that levy none, withholds nothing else either. Its only payroll tax is reemployment assistance, and the employer carries all of it; the state's own guidance puts it plainly, that as an employee you do not pay any portion of the benefit costs or taxes. Several states without an income tax still take a paid-leave or disability contribution out of every paycheck. South Dakota takes none, so the state column on a South Dakota payslip is genuinely empty.

How South Dakota taxes wages

South Dakota levies no income tax on wages, so there is no state bracket schedule and no state standard deduction to apply.

What else South Dakota withholds

South Dakota withholds no employee-paid programme on top of its income tax.
