Works offline — your inputs never leave this device. How that works
Estimate only: this is an approximation, not a copy of North Dakota's withholding tables. It annualizes your pay and applies the 2026 Annual Percentage Method Table for your filing status, which is how North Dakota's own worksheet works for a Form W-4 from 2020 or later. Your employer uses the booklet's worksheet with your own W-4, so your actual withholding will differ. Use the Office of State Tax Commissioner's own 2026 withholding rates booklet for an official figure.

What is the North Dakota income tax rate for 2026?
North Dakota uses graduated income-tax brackets, applied here to annualized wages after the state's standard deduction and exemptions. The figure was transcribed from North Dakota Office of State Tax Commissioner — North Dakota Income Tax Withholding Rates and Instructions, 2026 Calendar Year, Section 2 Annual Percentage Method Tables (Forms W-4 for 2020 and after) 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.
