Take-Home Pay—
Estimate Your Take-Home Pay
2027 figures are projected. Federal brackets and the standard
deduction are computed from chained CPI-U through August 2026. The Social Security
wage base is the SSA's official figure. State figures carry 2026 values
except where a 2027 rate is already enacted, so state tax may be slightly
overstated. Official IRS figures publish in October.

Biweekly and semi-monthly are not the same thing. Biweekly means every other Friday —
26 paychecks a year, so two months each year contain three paydays. Semi-monthly means twice a month
(often the 15th and the last day) — 24 slightly larger paychecks. On a $40,000 salary in North Dakota,
that difference is about $110 per check.
Annual take-home is identical either way.
Single filer, no pre-tax deductions. Divides annual take-home evenly; real paychecks vary slightly with withholding rounding and benefit deductions.
What's different about a North Dakota paycheck
Withholding runs on the federal W-4
North Dakota has no withholding certificate of its own; employers use your federal Form W-4 and the Tax Commissioner's 2026 tables, which have separate methods for W-4s from before 2020 and from 2020 on. A new employee who hasn't turned in a W-4 is withheld under the 2020-and-later method.
Bonuses at 1.5%
Supplemental pay can be withheld at a flat 1.5%, or added to regular wages. A $10,000 bonus at the flat rate arrives as about $6,885 after the federal 22%, North Dakota, Social Security, and Medicare.
Commuters from Minnesota and Montana
Under North Dakota's reciprocity agreements, Minnesota residents who return home at least monthly and all Montana residents owe no North Dakota tax on wages earned there; their home state taxes them. If an employer withholds North Dakota tax from those wages anyway, it comes back only by filing a North Dakota return.
No withholding on military pay from 2026
From 2026, military pay that qualifies for North Dakota's military pay deduction is no longer subject to state withholding under Senate Bill 2047, though a service member can ask to have tax withheld anyway.
The federal minimum wage applies
North Dakota's minimum wage is $7.25 an hour. Full-time that is $15,080 a year, about $13,926 after taxes, with no North Dakota income tax.
Brackets shown are marginal: each rate applies only to the portion of taxable income within that bracket, not your total income. Taxable income equals gross wages minus pre-tax deductions and the standard deduction.
