How Rhode Island taxes your income in 2026

Rhode Island's three brackets are 3.75% on the first $79,500 of taxable income, 4.75% up to $180,950, and 5.99% above that for single filers (thresholds are inflation-adjusted annually). That means a single filer earning $75,000 sits entirely in the 3.75% bottom bracket — a lighter touch than neighboring Connecticut or Massachusetts for many middle earners. The standard deduction is $11,200 for single filers and $22,400 for joint filers.

Payroll taxes and the car tax

Rhode Island employees contribute to the state's Temporary Disability Insurance (TDI) and Temporary Caregiver Insurance (TCI) programs through payroll deductions of a bit over 1% of wages (up to a cap). Rhode Island municipalities levy no income tax, but the state's motor-vehicle excise tax — being phased out — has long been a sore spot for car owners. Social Security benefits are exempt for retirees below income thresholds.

What this calculator includes (and excludes)

This estimate covers federal income tax, FICA, and Rhode Island income tax using the 2026 brackets and standard deduction. It does not model TDI/TCI payroll contributions, the Social Security income thresholds, itemized deductions, or credits. Figures are estimates for planning purposes, not tax advice.

Frequently asked questions

What is the Rhode Island income tax rate in 2026? ▼
Three brackets: 3.75%, 4.75%, and 5.99%. The bottom 3.75% bracket covers taxable income up to about $79,500 for single filers, so most middle-income workers pay 3.75% on all their taxable income.
Does Rhode Island have local income taxes? ▼
No. Rhode Island municipalities do not impose income taxes. Local revenue comes from property taxes and the (phasing-out) motor vehicle excise tax.
Does Rhode Island tax Social Security benefits? ▼
Not within income limits. Rhode Island exempts Social Security for retirees whose income falls below set thresholds (adjusted annually); above those, benefits can be partially taxable.
How much is $75,000 after taxes in Rhode Island? ▼
A single filer earning $75,000 pays roughly $2,393 in Rhode Island income tax and takes home about $59,200 per year after federal tax, FICA, and state tax — before small TDI/TCI payroll contributions. See the example table above.
What payroll deductions does Rhode Island add? ▼
Employees pay into Temporary Disability Insurance and Temporary Caregiver Insurance — roughly 1%–1.3% of wages up to an annual cap. These fund paid leave programs and aren't included in this calculator's estimate.
