How Rhode Island take-home pay is calculated
Rhode Island taxes wage income at three modest marginal rates ranging from 3.75% up to a top rate of 5.99%, putting it in the middle of the pack among states with an income tax. There are no city or county income taxes anywhere in Rhode Island, so your state withholding is the only income tax that reduces take-home pay. Workers also have a Temporary Disability Insurance contribution withheld from wages, a small additional payroll deduction that funds the state's disability and caregiver benefits.
