New Mexico income tax, explained
New Mexico has a six-bracket income tax for 2026, ranging from 1.5% up to a top rate of 5.9%. A 2024 reform lowered the bottom rate to 1.5% and added a 4.3% bracket. New Mexico uses the federal standard deduction as its starting point.
For a single filer, the 5.9% top rate applies only above $210,000; most income falls in the 4.7%–4.9% range at the margin. New Mexico also gives a $4,000 deduction per dependent, which is not modeled here.
