How Georgia state income tax works

Georgia levies a flat 5.19% state income tax on personal income. The state phased out its old graduated brackets and is on a path to gradually reduce the flat rate further in coming years. Every taxpayer pays the same marginal rate regardless of income level.

Georgia offers a generous standard deduction of $12,000 for single filers and $24,000 for married filing jointly, which the calculator subtracts from your wage base before the 5.19% rate applies. This deduction noticeably lowers the effective rate for lower- and middle-income earners.
