Georgia converted from a progressive income tax to a flat tax of 5.49% in 2024, then reduced to 5.39% in 2026. The rate is scheduled to continue decreasing, eventually reaching 4.99% under Georgia's tax reform plan signed by Governor Kemp.
A worker earning $75,000/year in Georgia pays approximately $3,753 in state income tax (5.39%). Take-home is approximately $56,200 per year after all federal and state deductions.
Georgia has a standard deduction of $5,400 for single filers and $7,100 for married filing jointly (2026). This reduces your Georgia taxable income before the 5.39% rate is applied.
For a single filer earning $75,000: GA taxable income = $75,000 - $5,400 = $69,600, taxed at 5.39% = $3,753 in state tax. Note: Georgia is moving to align its standard deduction with the federal amount in future years.
