Frequently asked questions
Does Nebraska have a state income tax?
Yes. In 2026, Nebraska taxes wages at 2.46% to 4.55%, depending on your taxable income.
What is the Nebraska standard deduction for 2026?
$8,850 for single filers and $17,700 for married couples filing jointly.
Are there local income taxes in Nebraska?
No — Nebraska cities and counties don't generally charge a local income tax on wages.
What else is taken out of a Nebraska paycheck?
Federal income tax, Social Security (6.2% up to $184,500) and Medicare (1.45%, plus 0.9% above $200,000), and Nebraska income tax. Pre-tax deductions such as 401(k) contributions and health insurance lower your taxable pay.
Why is my real paycheck a little different?
Employers withhold based on your W-4, which may include extra withholding, other income or deductions. Benefits such as HSA, dental or commuter plans, and local taxes also change the result. Treat this as a close estimate.
