How it works
For South Dakota paychecks, the estimate is based on gross pay for the selected pay frequency prior to applying federal withholding methods. Federal income tax withholding is calculated using IRS Publication 15-T with Form W-4 (2020+) inputs. FICA payroll taxes include Social Security and Medicare. Because South Dakota has no state personal income tax, there is no state income tax withholding applied to wages.
Examples
For a biweekly paycheck, federal income tax is withheld according to IRS rules and FICA is withheld at the applicable Social Security and Medicare rates. No South Dakota state income tax is withheld from wages.
Limitations and important notes

This calculator does not include any local or municipal wage or income taxes. South Dakota has no state income tax, and variations in employer payroll rules and pay frequency may affect final take-home pay beyond this estimate.
