New Jersey State Income Tax Guide (2026)
New Jersey has one of the more progressive income tax systems in the US, with rates ranging from 1.4% to 10.75%.
1. New Jersey Progressive Tax Brackets
New Jersey uses progressive tax brackets, meaning higher portions of your income are taxed at higher rates - up to a top marginal rate of 10.75%. You only pay the higher rate on the dollars that fall within each bracket, not on your entire salary.
| NJ Taxable Income (Single) | Marginal Rate |
|---|---|
| $0 to $20,000 | 1.4% |
| $20,001 to $35,000 | 1.75% |
| $35,001 to $40,000 | 3.5% |
| $40,001 to $75,000 | 5.525% |
| $75,001 to $500,000 | 6.37% |
| $500,001 to $5,000,000 | 8.97% |
| $5,000,001 and over | 10.75% |
2. Deductions and Conformance
New Jersey does not offer a standard deduction, so the rate applies from the first dollar of taxable income. Pre-tax 401(k) contributions, HSA contributions, and employer health premiums reduce your New Jersey taxable income.
