How Colorado state income tax works

Colorado levies a flat 4.4% state income tax on personal income. Unlike most graduated-bracket states, every Colorado taxpayer pays the same marginal rate. The rate has trended slightly downward over the past several years thanks to TABOR-related rate adjustments.

Colorado generally mirrors federal taxable income as its starting point and offers a state-level standard deduction of $16,100 single / $32,200 joint, matching the federal amounts. The calculator subtracts that before applying the 4.4% rate so the estimate reflects real Colorado take-home pay.
