Delaware uses a graduated income tax with seven brackets topping out at 6.6%. This Delaware paycheck calculator combines federal income tax, Social Security, Medicare, and Delaware state income tax to show your real 2026 take-home pay per paycheck.

How Delaware state income tax works

Delaware exempts the first $2,000 of taxable income, then applies 2.2% up to $5,000, 3.9% to $10,000, 4.8% to $20,000, 5.2% to $25,000, 5.55% to $60,000, and 6.6% above $60,000. The same brackets apply to both single and joint filers — Delaware does not double the thresholds for married filing jointly.

The state offers a standard deduction of $3,250 for single filers and $6,500 for joint filers, which the calculator subtracts from your wage base before applying brackets. Delaware also famously has no sales tax, though that does not affect paycheck calculations.
