Profile boundaries

These limits stay visible so a statewide estimate is not mistaken for a filed return or an address-specific withholding calculation.

  • Minnesota state income tax is modeled as an annual-liability estimate, not employer withholding.
  • The Paid Leave line is the maximum employee share; employer plan allocation can reduce it.
  • The 1% net-investment-income surtax is outside this wage-only estimate.
  • Minnesota measures the dependent exemption phaseout against total federal adjusted gross income. Enter income from outside this job to measure it exactly; left blank, it measures this job's wages alone.
