Works offline — your inputs never leave this device. How that works
Estimate only: this is an approximation, not a copy of New Mexico's withholding tables. It annualizes your pay and applies FYI-104's annual percentage-method brackets straight to your wages, which is how New Mexico's tables work — there are no withholding allowances to claim. Your employer applies the table for your own payroll period, so rounding will make your actual withholding differ. Use the New Mexico Taxation and Revenue Department's own FYI-104 tables for an official figure.

What is the New Mexico income tax rate for 2026?
New Mexico uses graduated income-tax brackets, applied here to annualized wages after the state's standard deduction and exemptions. The figure was transcribed from New Mexico Taxation and Revenue Department — FYI-104, New Mexico Withholding Tax, REV. 11/2025, effective January 1, 2026; State Wage Withholding Tax Tables for Percentage Method of Withholding, Table 7 (Annual) and verified on 2026-07-31. Because withholding tables and annual calculations differ slightly, treat the result as an estimate and check it against the state's own table.
Why does this differ from my actual pay stub?
Two reasons. Pre-tax items — retirement contributions, health premiums, HSA deductions — reduce taxable pay and are not modelled here. And this uses an annualized approximation of the state's schedule rather than the exact withholding tables your employer's payroll system uses, which is disclosed on every result.
