How Wisconsin taxes your paycheck

- Sliding standard deduction: Wisconsin's standard deduction shrinks as income rises. In 2026 it is up to $13,960 for single filers, reduced by 12% of income above $20,119, so it disappears at about $136,000. For married couples it is up to $25,840, reduced by 19.778% above $29,039.
- Personal exemption: $700 per person (plus $250 for each filer aged 65 or over).
- Milwaukee, Madison and other Wisconsin cities do not tax wages, and there is no state disability deduction.
