Frequently asked questions
- Does Minneapolis have a city income tax?
- No. Minneapolis does not impose a city-level income tax on wages. Your paycheck math is federal + FICA + Minnesota state. Same for St. Paul and the rest of the Twin Cities metro.
- Does Minnesota have employee-side SDI or PFL?
- Minnesota signed a Paid Family and Medical Leave program into law (taking effect 2026). Employee contribution begins 2026; the exact rate is small (around 0.4% combined employer + employee). Verify the current rate with the MN Department of Employment and Economic Development.
- What is the Minnesota state income tax rate?
- Progressive brackets from 5.35% to 9.85% (top rate). Top rate kicks in at relatively low income compared to other states. Verify current brackets with the MN Department of Revenue.
- What lines should I expect on a Minneapolis paycheck?
- Minneapolis has no city income tax, so beyond the federal lines (federal income tax, Social Security 6.2% to $184,500, Medicare 1.45%) the only state line is Minnesota income tax, charged on progressive brackets from 5.35% up to 9.85%. As Minnesota PFML phases in for 2026, a small employee-share paid-leave premium also appears. Pre-tax 401(k), HSA, FSA or Section 125 health show up only when elected.
- What about St. Paul, Bloomington, or other Twin Cities suburbs?
- No Minnesota city imposes a separate municipal income tax on wages. The math is the same across the Twin Cities metro: federal + FICA + MN state.
