How it works

Federal income tax uses the 2026 brackets and standard deduction for your filing status. Social Security takes 6.2% of wages up to the annual wage base and Medicare 1.45% of all wages (plus 0.9% above $200,000 single). Nebraska's tax is figured on your income after a $8,850 standard deduction, then reduced by a $176 personal credit (single-filer figures).
