Estimate, not tax advice. Uses 2026 federal figures and 2026 Wisconsin brackets, with the deductions modeled below. Assumes one wage earner even for a joint return. Joint brackets are approximated by doubling single thresholds; actual schedules can differ substantially. Excludes local taxes, itemized deductions, credits and some state adjustments. Your actual tax depends on your full return.

- Wisconsin has 4 tax brackets, running from 3.5% to 7.65%.
- The top 7.65% rate applies to single-filer taxable income above $332,720.
- Married-filing-jointly brackets are approximated by doubling single thresholds; actual joint schedules may differ.
- The model uses a Wisconsin standard deduction of $13,960 for a single filer and $27,920 filing jointly.
- Wisconsin widened its second bracket substantially, and its standard deduction tapers away as income rises, which this calculator does not model, so it understates Wisconsin tax at higher incomes.
