How North Dakota state income tax works

North Dakota exempts the first $48,475 of taxable income for single filers ($80,975 joint) and then applies 1.95% up to $244,825, with a top rate of 2.5% above that threshold. In practice this is one of the lightest state income tax burdens in the nation — many middle-income workers pay essentially no state income tax thanks to the zero-rate band.

North Dakota's standard deduction matches the federal amount of $16,100 single / $32,200 joint, which the calculator subtracts from your wage base before applying brackets. Combined with the generous zero-rate band, North Dakota functions almost like a no-tax state for many earners.
