$80,000 After Taxes in Minnesota (2026)

A single filer paid $80,000 in Minnesota has $63,900 of federal taxable income after the $16,100 standard deduction. The top slice of that income falls in the 22% federal bracket, which starts at $50,400 of taxable income, and federal income tax comes to $8,770, or 10.96% of the salary.

Payroll tax is federal and the same in Minnesota as everywhere else: on $80,000 of wages it is $6,120, made up of $4,960 of Social Security at 6.2% of every dollar and $1,160 of Medicare at 1.45%.

Minnesota taxable income is $64,700, 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 $3,917, 4.90% of the salary. Four brackets at 5.35%, 6.80%, 7.85% and 9.85%; the rates themselves have not changed since 2013.

Altogether $18,807 of a $80,000 Minnesota salary goes to tax, an effective total rate of 23.51%, which leaves $61,193 a year: $5,099 a month, $2,354 every two weeks, $1,177 a week, or $29 an hour over 2,080 hours.

At $80,000, Minnesota ranks 48th of 51 jurisdictions for take-home pay, highest first. A no-tax state leaves $3,917 more a year, and the median state $1,142 more than Minnesota. The lowest take-home at $80,000 is $59,712, in Oregon, $1,481 less than in Minnesota.

Across the state line the same $80,000 leaves a single filer: North Dakota $64,831, $3,637 more; South Dakota $65,110, $3,917 more; Iowa $62,722, $1,528 more; Wisconsin $61,870, $676 more.

These Minnesota figures treat the whole $80,000 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.
