Georgia has moved to a flat income tax of 4.99% paired with a generous standard deduction, simplifying what was previously a progressive bracket system.
Georgia applies a single flat income tax rate of 4.99% to taxable income. Unlike progressive states, the same rate applies whether you are an entry-level worker or a high earner, which makes the calculation straightforward.
For 2026, the Georgia standard deduction is $15,000 for single filers and $30,000 for married couples filing jointly. Pre-tax 401(k) contributions, HSA contributions, and employer health premiums reduce your Georgia taxable income.
