New Mexico's income tax is graduated: 6 brackets running from 1.5% to 5.9%, the 16th-highest top rate of the 51 jurisdictions. The top rate applies to a single filer's taxable income above $210,000. Joint filers have their own schedule, and it is not simply doubled: the top rate starts at $315,000 for a couple against $210,000 for a single filer. Heads of household get a third schedule of their own, wider than the single one. A single filer subtracts a $15,750 standard deduction before the rates are applied.

Assumptions
- Ordinary-income rate schedules only; no credits, AMT, capital-gains rates, QBI deduction or the 2025–2028 senior deduction.
- Standard deduction (plus additional amounts for 65+/blind) or your itemized figure, whichever is larger; no dependent-filer limitation.
- Married filing separately uses half the joint federal thresholds, per the IRS schedule, and the state's single-filer schedule.
- State tax uses each state's published rate schedule, standard deduction and personal exemption for the tax year shown with the results; the source URL and year for the state you pick are printed above the results, along with the simplifications made for that state.
- State figures exclude county, municipal and city income taxes, itemized deductions, retirement and capital-gains exclusions, and credits that phase out. Unlisted states fall back to the flat rate you enter.

How the neighbours compare
New Mexico borders 5 other jurisdictions. Moving across a state line is the one way most people can actually change which of these schedules applies to them, so here is the same income run through each of them.
| State | Rate structure | $50,000 | $75,000 | $150,000 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| New Mexico | 1.5% – 5.9% | $1,201 | $2,376 | $6,036 |
| Arizona | Flat 2.5% | $856 | $1,481 | $3,356 |
| Colorado | Flat 4.4% | $1,492 | $2,592 | $5,892 |
| Oklahoma | 0.25% – 4.75% | $1,837 | $3,025 | $6,587 |
| Texas | No income tax | $0 | $0 | $0 |
| Utah | Flat 4.5% | $1,718 | $3,168 | $6,750 |
State income tax on a single filer, after each state’s own deductions. Federal tax is identical wherever you live, so the difference between these rows is the whole difference.
What these New Mexico figures leave out
Recorded against New Mexico in the data rather than glossed over, because they change real bills.
- New Mexico publishes a dollar lookup table rather than a bracket schedule for income below $100,000, so the brackets here are cited to the Tax Foundation's 2026 compilation. They were cross-checked against the Taxation and Revenue Department's own over-$100,000 schedule in the 2025 tax rate table, which they reproduce to within $2.
- Heads of household use the same schedule as joint filers, per the Department's table.
- New Mexico adopts the federal standard deduction. The standard deduction is the federal amount this state adopts: $15,750 single, $31,500 married filing jointly, $23,625 head of household for 2025 (IRS Rev. Proc. 2024-40, as amended by Rev. Proc. 2025-32 §3.01).
- The low- and middle-income exemption (up to $2,500 per exemption, for AGI under $36,667 single or $55,000 joint) and the $4,000 dependent deduction are not modelled, so tax at lower incomes is overstated.
