| Taxable income (single filer) | Wisconsin rate |
|---|---|
| $0 to $15,110 | 3.5% |
| $15,110 to $51,950 | 4.4% |
| $51,950 to $332,720 | 5.3% |
| $332,720 and above | 7.65% |
- 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.
