How Oklahoma taxes your paycheck
Oklahoma uses a graduated rate schedule with 4 brackets for single filers in 2026. Like the federal system, only the income inside each bracket is taxed at that bracket's rate — moving into a higher bracket never taxes your whole paycheck at the higher rate.
The 2026 standard deduction is $6,350 (single), $12,700 (married filing jointly), $9,350 (head of household).
On exemptions: $1,000 per personal exemption ($2,000 for joint filers) plus $1,000 per dependent; unchanged by HB 2764 (per OTC legislative fiscal analysis).

Methodology & sources
State figures come from the site's versioned 2026 tax dataset (v1.0.0, researched 2026-10-11),
regenerated into this page automatically. Model: state taxable income = gross pay minus the state's 2026
standard deduction;
state brackets applied marginally; employee-paid state payroll taxes added at their 2026 rates and wage bases
(with published annual caps). Federal tax uses 2026 IRS brackets and standard deductions; FICA uses the 2026
Social Security wage base ($184,500) and Medicare rates. Personal exemption credits/deductions and
individual tax credits are not modeled — the result is an estimate, not a tax return.
