Georgia Paycheck Calculator
Georgia withholds a flat state income tax of about 5.39% after the standard deduction, plus federal income tax and FICA (7.65%). No Georgia city or county adds a local income tax on wages.
Estimate your Georgia take-home pay after federal tax, FICA and Georgia state income tax.
Estimate only. Based on 2026 federal brackets, FICA, and an approximate average state rate. Actual withholding depends on allowances, pre-tax deductions and local taxes.
Georgia state income tax
Georgia moved to a flat income tax of about 5.39%, phasing down over the coming years.
Local taxes & deductions
Georgia does not levy local income taxes on wages.
Federal tax & FICA
Federal withholding in Georgia follows the 2024 brackets and your filing status, and it is calculated after the standard deduction — which is why someone on Georgia's average pay of about $70,600 a year (BLS QCEW, 2024) has an effective federal rate far below their 22% marginal bracket. FICA works the other way: 7.65% from the first dollar, no deduction, until the Social Security cap.
