Which tax year does this calculator use?

The calculator defaults to the 2024 tax year rate schedule for Oklahoma.

Does it include federal taxes?

No. It estimates Oklahoma state income tax only. Federal income tax, FICA, and local taxes are excluded.

How are deductions handled?

You can choose the Oklahoma standard deduction (aligned with federal amounts for 2024) or input your own annual itemized deduction total.

Are the brackets different by filing status?

Oklahoma uses a progressive schedule. For Married Filing Jointly, bracket thresholds are doubled relative to Single; Single, Head of Household, and Married Filing Separately share Single thresholds in this calculator.

Is this a withholding calculator?

No. It estimates annual liability under the rate schedule. Actual paycheck withholding can differ due to allowances and payroll rules.

Will this estimate match my final return?

It’s an educational estimate. Credits, additional adjustments, and specific Oklahoma rules can change your final liability.

Oklahoma State Income Tax Calculator

This Oklahoma income tax calculator provides a clear, accessible estimate of your state income tax for 2024. It is designed for employees, contractors, and planners who need a fast, transparent view of annual and per‑paycheck Oklahoma state tax—without guesswork.

Data Source and Methodology

Authoritative data: Oklahoma Tax Commission — 2024 Individual Income Tax Packet (Form 511/511NR Instructions & Rate Schedules). Direct resource: oklahoma.gov/tax (see 2024 rate schedules and instructions). All calculations are grounded in Oklahoma’s progressive rate schedule. Standard deduction values reflect federal 2024 amounts as commonly referenced for Oklahoma conformity.

All calculations are strictly based on the formulas and data provided by this source.

The Formula Explained

For annualization (given pay frequency F):
$AnnualGross = Gross_{period} \times F$
$AnnualPreTax = PreTax_{period} \times F$

Deduction applied:
$D = \begin{cases} SD(status), & \text{if Standard Deduction is chosen} \\ Itemized, & \text{if Itemized is chosen} \end{cases}$

Oklahoma taxable income:
$TI = \max\left(0,\; AnnualGross - AnnualPreTax - D - OtherOK\right)$

Progressive tax using bracket set $B = \{(l_i,u_i,r_i)\}$:
$Tax = \sum_{i} r_i \cdot \max\left(0,\; \min(TI, u_i) - l_i \right)$
where $l_i$ and $u_i$ are the lower and upper bounds of bracket i (with $u_{last} = \infty$) and $r_i$ is the marginal rate.

Effective and marginal rates:
$Effective = \dfrac{Tax}{AnnualGross}$, $Marginal = r_k \text{ for the bracket } k \text{ where } TI \in [l_k, u_k)$.

Glossary of Variables

Gross pay (per period): Your pay before taxes for the selected pay frequency.
Pay frequency (F): Number of pay periods per year (e.g., 26 for biweekly).
Pre‑tax deductions: 401(k)/403(b) traditional, HSA, FSA, Section 125 premiums that typically reduce state taxable income.
Standard deduction (SD): For 2024, Single/MFS $14,600; MFJ $29,200; HOH $21,900.
Itemized deductions: Your annual total if you itemize for Oklahoma instead of taking the standard deduction.
Other OK adjustments: Additional Oklahoma‑specific subtractions, if applicable.
Taxable income (TI): Annual income subject to Oklahoma’s rate schedule after deductions/adjustments.
Marginal rate: The rate applied to the last dollar of TI within the applicable bracket.
Effective rate: Total tax as a percentage of annual gross income.

Worked Example

How It Works: A Step‑by‑Step Example

Suppose you are Single, paid biweekly at $2,500 gross per paycheck, contributing $200 pre‑tax per paycheck to a 401(k). You take the standard deduction.

Annualize: Annual Gross = 2,500 × 26 = $65,000; Annual Pre‑tax = 200 × 26 = $5,200.
Deduction: Standard deduction (Single 2024) = $14,600. Other OK adjustments = $0.
Taxable income: TI = max(0, 65,000 − 5,200 − 14,600 − 0) = $45,200.
Apply Oklahoma brackets (Single):
- 0.25% on first $1,000 → $2.50
- 0.75% on $1,000–$2,500 (1,500) → $11.25
- 1.75% on $2,500–$3,750 (1,250) → $21.88
- 2.75% on $3,750–$4,900 (1,150) → $31.63
- 3.75% on $4,900–$7,200 (2,300) → $86.25
- 4.75% on the remainder up to $45,200 → ($45,200 − $7,200) × 0.0475 = $1,802.50
Total ≈ $2, - sum above = $2, - rounding: $2, - actually $2, - combined ≈ $1,955.99.
Per‑paycheck OK tax: $1,955.99 ÷ 26 ≈ $75.23.
Marginal rate: 4.75%. Effective rate: $1,955.99 ÷ $65,000 ≈ 3.01%.
