Delaware Paycheck Taxes
Delaware withholds state income tax using its 2026 withholding method (graduated), in addition to federal income tax, Social Security, and Medicare.
Delaware also has employee-paid payroll taxes beyond income tax withholding: Delaware Paid Leave (employee share). These are calculated separately from state income tax and shown as their own line items in your results.
Wilmington local tax is modeled when selected.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does Delaware have state income tax?
Yes. Delaware withholds state income tax on a graduated schedule based on the filing status and personal exemptions you claim.
Does Wilmington add a local tax to my Delaware paycheck?
Yes, if you work in Wilmington. It's the one Delaware locality this calculator supports directly — select Wilmington in the State Taxes tab and the local tax is added to your estimate; leave it set to "none" if you don't work there.
What is Delaware Paid Leave?
Delaware Paid Leave is a family-and-medical-leave insurance program funded by a payroll premium. The employee-paid share is set by each employer up to a statutory ceiling of 0.4% of wages — enter your employer's actual rate for an accurate estimate, since it isn't a single fixed number statewide.
What taxes are deducted from a Delaware paycheck overall?
Federal income tax, Social Security, Medicare, Delaware state income tax, Wilmington local tax if applicable, and any Delaware Paid Leave premium your employer withholds.
