How Rhode Island state income tax works

Rhode Island applies 3.75% on the first $82,050 of taxable income, 4.75% from $82,050 to $186,450, and 5.99% above $186,450. The same thresholds apply to both single and joint filers — Rhode Island does not double the brackets for married filing jointly.

Rhode Island offers a state standard deduction of $16,450 single / $32,900 joint, which the calculator subtracts from your wage base before applying brackets. Most middle-income workers therefore pay close to 3.75% on the bulk of their wages.
