Take-Home Pay in Georgia (2026)

Georgia taxes income at a flat 4.99% for 2026 — lawmakers accelerated the planned rate cut and raised the standard deduction to $15,000 single / $30,000 joint. The $5,000-per-dependent exemption isn't modeled here, so Georgia tax may read slightly high for filers with dependents.

State tax note: Flat 4.99% for 2026 (HB 463 accelerated the cut). $5,000-per-dependent exemption not modeled.
