About New Jersey income tax
New Jersey uses progressive tax brackets ranging from 1.4% up to 10.75%. 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 10.75% top rate.
This page applies New Jersey's published single-filer brackets to the income you enter. It doesn't include New Jersey's own standard deduction, personal exemptions, or credits, which can lower your actual bill.
