New Mexico has four marginal tax brackets, ranging from 1.70% (the lowest New Mexico tax bracket) to 4.90% (the highest New Mexico tax bracket). Each marginal rate only applies to earnings within the applicable marginal tax bracket.

In New Mexico, different tax brackets are applicable to different filing types. Married couples filing their New Mexico income tax return jointly will usually have wider tax brackets than those filing separately or as an individual.

What is my New Mexico tax bracket?

Technically, you don't have just one "tax bracket" - you pay all of the New Mexico marginal tax rates from the lowest tax bracket to the tax bracket in which you earned your last dollar. For comparison purposes, however, your New Mexico tax bracket is the tax bracket in which your last earned dollar in any given tax period falls.

You can think of the bracketed income tax as a flat amount for all of the money you earned up to your highest tax bracket, plus a marginal percentage of any amount you earned over that.

For earnings between $0.00 and $5,500, you'll pay 1.70%
For earnings between $5,500.00 and $11,000, you'll pay 3.20% plus $93.50
For earnings between $11,000.00 and $16,000, you'll pay 4.70% plus $269.50
For earnings over $16,000.00, you'll pay 4.90% plus $504.50
For earnings between $0.00 and $8,000, you'll pay 1.70%
For earnings between $8,000.00 and $16,000, you'll pay 3.20% plus $136.00
For earnings between $16,000.00 and $24,000, you'll pay 4.70% plus $392.00
For earnings over $24,000.00, you'll pay 4.90% plus $768.00

Deductions

When calculating your New Mexico income tax, keep in mind that the New Mexico state income tax brackets are only applied to your adjusted gross income (AGI) after you have made any qualifying deductions.

Qualifying deductions might include an itemized deduction, the New Mexico standard deduction, exemptions for dependants, business expenses, etc.

Remember that New Mexico may have very different deduction laws from the Federal Income Tax, so you may have to write a whole new list of deductions for your New Mexico income tax return.
