How Nebraska state income tax works

Nebraska's brackets for single filers are 2.46% on the first $4,130, 3.51% to $24,760, and 4.55% above $24,760. Married filing jointly uses thresholds that are roughly doubled. The top rate has been steadily lowered from over 6% in recent years.

Nebraska offers a state standard deduction of $8,850 single / $17,700 joint, which the calculator subtracts from your wage base before applying brackets. Many middle-income workers therefore pay close to a 4.55% effective rate on the bulk of their wages.
