How Delaware taxes your paycheck in 2026
Delaware uses 7 tax brackets in 2026. Rates apply to taxable income — your salary minus the $3,250 state standard deduction for single filers. Brackets are marginal: crossing into a higher bracket only raises the rate on income above that threshold, not on your whole salary. Federal income tax and FICA apply on top.
| Taxable income (single filer) | Rate |
|---|---|
| Up to $2,000 | 0% |
| $2,000 – $5,000 | 2.2% |
| $5,000 – $10,000 | 3.9% |
| $10,000 – $20,000 | 4.8% |
| $20,000 – $25,000 | 5.2% |
| $25,000 – $60,000 | 5.55% |
