CA Tax Bracket Calculator

2025 FIGURES CARRIED FORWARD: the FTB had not published the 2026 indexed rate schedules, standard deduction or exemption credits when both research packs were compiled (5 September 2026); California indexes them to the CCPI late in the year. The brackets (Schedules X, Y and Z), the $5,706 / $11,412 standard deduction and the exemption credits here are therefore the tax-year-2025 amounts and the whole entry is flagged unverified for 2026. The 1% Behavioral Health Services Tax on taxable income over $1,000,000 (all filing statuses) is a separate line, not a bracket, and continues in 2026. The EDD 2026 Method B withholding schedules confirm the same bracket edges and the $5,706 / $11,412 deduction for payroll purposes but their rates are withholding rates (1.1% to 14.63%), not the statutory return rates. Replace with the FTB 2026 schedules when released.

Some 2026 figures for California are not yet confirmed from the state's own 2026 publication and are carried from 2025; the note above names them. Treat the figure as indicative and confirm it with the California revenue authority before relying on it.

An estimate from each state's published rate schedule. State credits, add-backs, part-year and non-resident apportionment, and local taxes other than New York City are not modelled. Check your state return or a tax professional before relying on it.
