What this calculator models for Wisconsin
Every figure above comes from a published Wisconsin document. These are the rules behind those figures that this calculator applies, approximates, or leaves out.
| Rule | In this calculator |
|---|---|
| Wisconsin lets an allowance it subtracts from income shrink as income rises rather than fixing it, and this calculator uses the figure that applies at the top of that slide. From $136,453 of income upward, the figure used here is the exact one. | Not modelled |
| Wisconsin has not published every figure for this tax year yet, so some come from the prior year or from a withholding circular. | Approximated |
| Wisconsin builds its withholding tables on a construct that is not the annual tax bill, so your payslip and this page can differ by a small amount that settles when you file. | Approximated |
