About Delaware income tax
Delaware uses progressive tax brackets ranging from 2.2% up to 6.6%. Because the system is progressive, your first dollars are taxed at the lowest rate and only income above each threshold is taxed at the higher rates — so your effective rate is lower than the 6.6% top rate.
A low-income band is exempt. Wilmington levies a separate local wage tax.
This page applies Delaware's published single-filer brackets to the income you enter. It doesn't include Delaware's own standard deduction, personal exemptions, or credits, which can lower your actual bill.
