How Delaware taxes income
Delaware has 6 brackets for a single filer and taxes nothing below $2,000, so the rate on your last dollar is higher than your overall rate.
Wilmington levies a city wage tax, which this calculator does not include.
What this does not include
- Local or city income tax, which Delaware allows
- Dependants, children, and credits that have to be claimed on a return
- Post-tax deductions, such as health insurance premiums
- Anything on a W-4 beyond filing status
- Head of household and married filing separately, which are not modelled
