How New Mexico taxes your paycheck
- New brackets since 2025: six rates from 1.5% to 5.9%, after a reform that lowered taxes for low and middle incomes.
- Standard deduction: New Mexico starts from federal taxable income, so the federal standard deduction ($16,100 single, $32,200 married) applies.
- Albuquerque, Santa Fe and Las Cruces do not tax wages, and there is no state disability deduction.
- Workers pay a very small Workers' Compensation Fee of a few dollars per quarter.
