Good to know
- New Mexico uses the federal standard deduction, so the first $16,100 of a single filer’s income ($32,200 for a married couple) is not taxed.
- Heads of household use the same brackets as married couples.
- Each dependent after the first can give a further $4,000 deduction.
- Employees also pay a Workers’ Compensation fee of $2 every three months. It is too small to change this estimate, so it is not included.
- When an employer uses a flat rate for a bonus, New Mexico tax is withheld at 5.9%.
