Georgia State Income Tax Guide (2026)

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.
