How New Jersey state income tax works

New Jersey's brackets for single filers run 1.4% to $20,000, 1.75% to $35,000, 3.5% to $40,000, 5.53% to $75,000, 6.37% to $500,000, 8.97% to $1,000,000, and 10.75% above $1,000,000. Joint filers use slightly different thresholds but the same general structure. Most middle-income workers fall in the 5.53% to 6.37% range.

New Jersey offers a modest exemption-style allowance (treated here as a deduction) of $1,000 single / $2,000 joint. This estimate does not include the New Jersey-specific Family Leave Insurance or Disability Insurance contributions that also reduce some paychecks.
