North Dakota's income tax is graduated: 3 brackets running from 0% to 2.5%, the 41st-highest top rate of the 51 jurisdictions. The top rate applies to a single filer's taxable income above $250,400. A single filer's first $49,575 of taxable income is taxed at 0% — on top of whatever the state lets you deduct first. Joint filers have their own schedule, and it is not simply doubled: the top rate starts at $304,850 for a couple against $250,400 for a single filer. Heads of household get a third schedule of their own, wider than the single one. A single filer subtracts a $16,100 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.

|---|---|---|---|
| $0 – $12,400 | 10% | $12,400 | $1,240 |
| $12,400 – $50,400 | 12% | $38,000 | $4,560 |

What these North Dakota figures leave out
Recorded against North Dakota in the data rather than glossed over, because they change real bills.
- North Dakota taxes nothing below $49,575 (single), $82,800 (joint) or $66,400 (head of household) — that is the 0% band shown, and it means most filers owe no North Dakota tax at all.
