California: tax year 2025 figures. The California amounts shown here are the 2025 brackets, standard deduction and exemptions, published for 2026 because California has not yet published its 2026 inflation-indexed brackets, standard deduction or exemption credits. The 2026 Form 540-ES instructions confirm the structure for 2026 — nine brackets from 1% to 12.3% plus the 1% Behavioral Health Services Tax above $1,000,000 — and direct taxpayers to the 2025 standard deduction and exemption credit amounts in the meantime.

How this site works

Primary sources only

Every rate comes from a state revenue department, a state statute, or the IRS. Research organisations are used to cross-check, never as the source of record.

See every source →

We show our working

The calculation method, what we model and what we deliberately leave out are written down in full. Where a figure is provisional or unverified, the page says so instead of guessing.

Read the methodology →

Errors get fixed

No named experts, no invented credentials, no reviewer bylines. Just traceable data, dated verification, and a route to tell us when something is wrong.
