North Dakota income tax, explained
North Dakota has one of the lowest income taxes in the country. For 2026 there are just three rates — 0%, 1.95%, and a top 2.5% — and the 0% bracket is large: a single filer owes no North Dakota tax until taxable income tops $48,475.
North Dakota starts from your federal taxable income, so the federal standard deduction flows through before its rates apply. Many middle-income workers owe little or no North Dakota income tax.
