District of Columbia Income Tax Calculator (2026 Filing Season)
District of Columbia 2025 brackets: 4%–10.75%, depending on income and filing status.
DC taxes residents like a state, with a top rate of 10.75% — but non-resident commuters pay nothing to DC.
We subtract District of Columbia's standard deduction ($15,000) automatically.
The same $75,000 income in a no-income-tax state (Texas, Florida, Tennessee…) would owe $0 in state income tax — a difference of $3,500 per year.
We only store your state and filing status — never your income.
