Georgia rules that affect a paycheck
- Georgia cut its flat income tax rate from 5.19% to 4.99% for 2026 (HB 463, retroactive to January 1) and raised the standard deduction to $15,000 for single filers and $30,000 for joint filers.
- Unemployment insurance in Georgia is paid by employers only; Alaska, New Jersey and Pennsylvania are the states that withhold a worker share.
- Georgia's own minimum wage is $5.15 an hour, but with limited exceptions the federal $7.25 applies, and that is the figure used here. Full-time at that rate is $15,080 a year, which keeps $13,922.39 after tax for a single filer.
- Georgia's statewide sales tax rate is 4%, and counties add local sales taxes of 1% each.
- 2026 standard deduction: $15,000 single, $30,000 joint, $15,000 head of household.
- Employers could keep withholding at the old 5.19% rate until May 11, 2026, so 2026 paychecks may show more withheld than the 4.99% liability computed here; the difference comes back at filing.
- Wage earners file a Georgia return as well as the federal one; for 2026 income both are generally due April 15, 2027.
