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.

Wisconsin's income tax is graduated: 4 brackets running from 3.5% to 7.65%, the 10th-highest top rate of the 51 jurisdictions. The top rate applies to a single filer's taxable income above $332,720. Joint filers have their own schedule, and it is not simply doubled: the top rate starts at $443,630 for a couple against $332,720 for a single filer. A single filer subtracts a $13,960 standard deduction and a $700 personal exemption before the rates are applied, and that deduction shrinks as income rises and reaches zero at $136,453.

How the neighbours compare
Wisconsin borders 4 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Wisconsin | 3.5% – 7.65% | $1,577 | $2,944 | $7,309 |
| Iowa | Flat 3.8% | $1,248 | $2,198 | $5,048 |
| Illinois | Flat 4.95% | $2,330 | $3,568 | $7,280 |
| Michigan | Flat 4.25% | $1,874 | $2,937 | $6,124 |
| Minnesota | 5.35% – 9.85% | $1,877 | $3,577 | $8,942 |
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 Wisconsin figures leave out
Recorded against Wisconsin in the data rather than glossed over, because they change real bills.
- Wisconsin's standard deduction shrinks as income rises and reaches zero at $136,453 (single and head of household) or $159,690 (joint). That phase-out is modelled.
- Heads of household use the single bracket schedule but their own standard deduction, both applied here. Their deduction taper changes slope at $58,827, which this model does not follow, so tax between $58,827 and $136,453 is slightly overstated.
