$60,000 After Taxes in Minnesota (2026)

A single filer paid $60,000 in Minnesota has $43,900 of federal taxable income after the $16,100 standard deduction. The top slice of that income falls in the 12% federal bracket, which starts at $12,400 of taxable income, and federal income tax comes to $5,020, or 8.37% of the salary.

Payroll tax is federal and the same in Minnesota as everywhere else: on $60,000 of wages it is $4,590, made up of $3,720 of Social Security at 6.2% of every dollar and $870 of Medicare at 1.45%.

Minnesota taxable income is $44,700, and its top slice reaches the 6.8% Minnesota rate above $33,310, below the state's 9.85% top rate. State income tax is $2,557, 4.26% of the salary. Four brackets at 5.35%, 6.80%, 7.85% and 9.85%; the rates themselves have not changed since 2013.

Altogether $12,167 of a $60,000 Minnesota salary goes to tax, an effective total rate of 20.28%, which leaves $47,833 a year: $3,986 a month, $1,840 every two weeks, $920 a week, or $23 an hour over 2,080 hours.

At $60,000, Minnesota ranks 44th of 51 jurisdictions for take-home pay, highest first. A no-tax state leaves $2,557 more a year, and the median state $706 more than Minnesota. The lowest take-home at $60,000 is $46,416, in Oregon, $1,418 less than in Minnesota.

Across the state line the same $60,000 leaves a single filer: North Dakota $50,390, $2,557 more; South Dakota $50,390, $2,557 more; Iowa $48,762, $928 more; Wisconsin $48,320, $487 more.

These Minnesota figures treat the whole $60,000 as wages, take the standard deduction, claim no dependents and include no federal credits. A pre-tax 401(k) contribution or health premium would lower taxable income and raise take-home; a second income or itemized deductions would change it again.
