Questions
How much is $20 an hour after taxes in Minnesota?
Working 40 hours a week at $20 an hour ($41,600 a year), you take home about $654 a week, or $1,308 every two weeks, after federal income tax, Social Security, Medicare and Minnesota state income tax.
Does Minnesota have a state income tax?
Yes. Minnesota taxes wages with a graduated income tax, which this calculator includes along with federal income tax and FICA.
How is overtime calculated?
Hours over 40 in a week are paid at one and a half times your hourly rate for non-exempt workers under the federal Fair Labor Standards Act. Enter those hours in the overtime box; some states also require daily overtime, which isn't modelled here.
Why might my real paycheck differ?
This spreads the year's tax evenly across paychecks for a single filer taking the standard deduction. Your employer's withholding uses your W-4 and IRS tables, and 401(k), health insurance or other pre-tax deductions lower both your taxable pay and your take-home.
Four brackets from 5.35% to 9.85%, one of the higher top rates in the country. Includes the employee share of Minnesota's new Paid Leave payroll tax, which began January 2026.
