  • Georgia moved to a flat rate and has been stepping it down each year, so a figure from an older calculator will read high.
  • Georgia gives no personal exemption — that was folded into the standard deduction when the state went flat — but it does deduct $5,000 for each dependent, raised from $4,000 for 2026.
  • No Georgia city or county levies a personal income tax, so the local line is zero statewide.

Georgia's flat rate is still falling

Georgia replaced its brackets with a single flat rate and has been cutting that rate almost every year since. For 2026 it is 4.99%. That is worth checking against whatever calculator you used last: a great many of them still quote the previous year's rate, which is higher.

The rate applies to income after a standard deduction of $15,000 filing single, or $30,000 filing jointly — both raised for 2026. Because there are no brackets, the state portion of your pay scales in a straight line and a raise never pushes you into a higher state rate.

Georgia gives no personal exemption for you or a spouse; that was folded into the standard deduction when the state went flat. It does still deduct $5,000 for each dependent, raised from $4,000 this year. That is a deduction rather than a credit, so each child is worth 4.99% of $5,000 off your Georgia tax — a smaller figure than the federal child tax credit, which comes straight off the tax itself.

No Georgia city or county levies a personal income tax, so the local line is zero wherever in the state you live.

A flat 4.99% for 2026, with no brackets at all. Georgia has been cutting the rate most years since it went flat, so an older calculator will quote a higher one — check the year before trusting a figure you find elsewhere.

$15,000 filing single, head of household or married filing separately, and $30,000 filing jointly — both raised for 2026. It comes off your income before the flat rate applies, which is why your effective Georgia rate is lower than the headline rate.

Yes — $5,000 deducted per dependent, raised from $4,000 for 2026. It is a deduction rather than a credit, so it reduces the income Georgia taxes rather than the tax itself, and is worth the flat rate applied to that amount. There is no personal exemption for you or a spouse.

Only if you enter them. Pre-tax retirement contributions and health premiums come out of your pay before income tax is calculated, so including them raises your take-home relative to a plain gross-to-net estimate. Health premiums also reduce Social Security and Medicare, while retirement contributions do not — which is why the two fields are separate.

Each qualifying child is worth a $2,200 federal tax credit. A credit comes off the tax you owe rather than off your taxable income, so it is worth the same amount whatever bracket you are in. It begins phasing out above $200,000 of income, or $400,000 filing jointly. Georgia also reduces its own tax for dependents, on top of the federal credit. Enter the number of children above and every figure updates.

It uses the 2026 federal and state tax tables and standard deductions, so it lands close for a straightforward salaried situation, but your actual paycheck will differ. It covers the federal child tax credit and the main state credits and exemptions, but not credits that depend on a child's age or household income, and it does not model local or municipal income tax, itemised deductions, multi-state work or supplemental wages such as bonuses. It is an estimate rather than tax advice.
