For single filers: 1.5% on the first $5,500 of taxable income, 3.2% to $16,500, 4.3% to $33,500, 4.7% to $66,500, 4.9% to $210,000 and 5.9% above. Married couples filing jointly, heads of household and surviving spouses move up at $8,000, $25,000, $50,000, $100,000 and $315,000; married filing separately at $4,000, $12,500, $25,000, $50,000 and $157,500. The brackets come from a 2024 law (House Bill 252), apply from tax year 2025 and aren't adjusted for inflation. The Taxation and Revenue Department hasn't published its 2026 return instructions yet. ### What is New Mexico's standard deduction? The federal standard deduction for the year: for 2026, $16,100 single or married filing separately, $24,150 head of household and $32,200 married filing jointly or surviving spouse. If you itemize on your federal return, you take your federal itemized deductions instead, less state and local income and sales taxes. ### What is New Mexico's low- and middle-income exemption? An extra exemption of up to $2,500 per exemption for lower incomes. For 2025 it applied only when federal adjusted gross income was $36,667 or less for single filers, $55,000 for married filing jointly, heads of household and surviving spouses, and $27,500 for married filing separately; the 2026 limits aren't published yet. The calculator leaves it out, so it overstates New Mexico tax for incomes under those limits. ### How much New Mexico tax is withheld from a bonus? New Mexico follows the federal method. If your employer withholds federal tax on the bonus at a flat percentage, it withholds a flat 5.9% for New Mexico; otherwise it uses the same aggregate or cumulative method it uses for federal tax. ### What does this calculator leave out for New Mexico? New Mexico starts from federal adjusted gross income, so pre-tax deductions lower your New Mexico taxable income; the calculator starts from gross wages. It uses the low- and middle-income exemption at $104,000 of income, which is $0, for every income, so under that exemption's income limits it shows a little too much tax, up to about $63 a year single and $79 joint at the 2025 limits. It also leaves out itemized deductions, the extra standard deduction at 65 or older or blind, the $4,000 deduction for certain dependents, and credits and rebates. ## Paycheck Calculators for Other States - [Alabama](https://pay44.app/alabama-paycheck-calculator/) - [Alaska](https://pay44.app/alaska-paycheck-calculator/) - [Arizona](https://pay44.app/arizona-paycheck-calculator/) - [Arkansas](https://pay44.app/arkansas-paycheck-calculator/) - [California](https://pay44.app/california-paycheck-calculator/) - [Colorado](https://pay44.app/colorado-paycheck-calculator/) - [Connecticut](https://pay44.app/connecticut-paycheck-calculator/) - [Delaware](https://pay44.app/delaware-paycheck-calculator/) - [District of Columbia](https://pay44.app/dc-paycheck-calculator/) - [Florida](https://pay44.app/florida-paycheck-calculator/) - [Georgia](https://pay44.app/georgia-paycheck-calculator/) - [Hawaii](https://pay44.app/hawaii-paycheck-calculator/) - [Idaho](https://pay44.app/idaho-paycheck-calculator/) - [Illinois](https://pay44.app/illinois-paycheck-calculator/) - [Indiana](https://pay44.app/indiana-paycheck-calculator/) - [Iowa](https://pay44.app/iowa-paycheck-calculator/) - [Kansas](https://pay44.app/kansas-paycheck-calculator/) - [Kentucky](https://pay44.app/kentucky-paycheck-calculator/) - [Louisiana](https://pay44.app/louisiana-paycheck-calculator/) - [Maine](https://pay44.app/maine-paycheck-calculator/) - [Maryland](https://pay44.app/maryland-paycheck-calculator/) - [Massachusetts](https://pay44.app/massachusetts-paycheck-calculator/) - [Michigan](https://pay44.app/michigan-paycheck-calculator/) - [Minnesota](https://pay44.app/minnesota-paycheck-calculator/) - [Mississippi](https://pay44.app/mississippi-paycheck-calculator/) - [Missouri](https://pay44.app/missouri-paycheck-calculator/) - [Montana](https://pay44.app/montana-paycheck-calculator/) - [Nebraska](https://pay44.app/nebraska-paycheck-calculator/) - [Nevada](https://pay44.app/nevada-paycheck-calculator/) - [New Hampshire](https://pay44.app/new-hampshire-paycheck-calculator/) - [New Jersey](https://pay44.app/new-jersey-paycheck-calculator/) - [New York](https://pay44.app/new-york-paycheck-calculator/) - [North Carolina](https://pay44.app/north-carolina-paycheck-calculator/) - [North Dakota](https://pay44.app/north-dakota-paycheck-calculator/) - [Ohio](https://pay44.app/ohio-paycheck-calculator/) - [Oklahoma](https://pay44.app/oklahoma-paycheck-calculator/) - [Oregon](https://pay44.app/oregon-paycheck-calculator/) - [Pennsylvania](https://pay44.app/pennsylvania-paycheck-calculator/) - [Rhode Island](https://pay44.app/rhode-island-paycheck-calculator/) - [South Carolina](https://pay44.app/south-carolina-paycheck-calculator/) - [South Dakota](https://pay44.app/south-dakota-paycheck-calculator/) - [Tennessee](https://pay44.app/tennessee-paycheck-calculator/) - [Texas](https://pay44.app/texas-paycheck-calculator/) - [Utah](https://pay44.app/utah-paycheck-calculator/) - [Vermont](https://pay44.app/vermont-paycheck-calculator/) - [Virginia](https://pay44.app/virginia-paycheck-calculator/) - [Washington](https://pay44.app/washington-paycheck-calculator/) - [West Virginia](https://pay44.app/west-virginia-paycheck-calculator/) - [Wisconsin](https://pay44.app/wisconsin-paycheck-calculator/) - [Wyoming](https://pay44.app/wyoming-paycheck-calculator/)
