Rhode Island paycheck calculator, 2026
Rhode Island uses a three-bracket schedule with a standard deduction and exemptions that phase out entirely above an income threshold, so higher earners lose them altogether rather than gradually. That phase-out makes the effective rate rise faster than the bracket structure alone suggests.
Rhode Island withholding rates, 2026
| Taxable income over | Base tax | Rate on excess |
|---|---|---|
| $0.00 | $0.00 | 3.75% |
| $82,050.00 | $3,076.88 | 4.75% |
| $186,450.00 | $8,035.88 | 5.99% |
Bonuses and supplemental pay
Rhode Island withholds supplemental wages — bonuses, commission, severance — at a flat 5.99%, separately from your regular salary. A bonus can therefore have a different amount withheld than the same money paid as salary, which is usually why a bonus arrives smaller than expected.

This is an estimate of payroll withholding, not tax advice, and not a prediction of your final tax bill. Withholding is what your employer sends in during the year; what you actually owe is settled when you file.
