Nebraska Income Tax Calculator 2026 – how it works

Nebraska publishes a Tax Calculation Schedule that specifies income ranges and applicable rates for Single and Married Filing Separately taxpayers. This calculator applies those published values to Nebraska taxable income for estimation purposes. The Nebraska standard deduction amount of 8,350 for these filing statuses is applied before the schedule-based calculation. The administering authority is the Nebraska Department of Revenue (https://revenue.nebraska.gov).

Examples

Example 1: If Nebraska taxable income falls within the first income range shown in the published schedule, the rate associated with that range is applied. Example 2: If taxable income exceeds higher ranges shown in the schedule, the applicable rates for those ranges are applied to the corresponding portions of income. Example 3: For Single and Married Filing Separately, applying the standard deduction of 8,350 reduces Nebraska taxable income before the schedule values are applied.

Limitations and important notes

Results are schedule-based estimates using the published Nebraska Tax Calculation Schedule values for Single and Married Filing Separately only. This calculator does not include Nebraska tax credits, including the personal exemption credit, and does not apply to other filing statuses. Official liability is determined using Nebraska’s complete rules, schedules, and forms.
