Rhode Island's income tax brackets were last changed one year ago for tax year 2023, and the tax rates were previously changed in 2010. Rhode Island's tax brackets are indexed for inflation, and are updated yearly to reflect changes in cost of living.

Rhode Island has three marginal tax brackets, ranging from 3.75% (the lowest Rhode Island tax bracket) to 5.99% (the highest Rhode Island tax bracket). Each marginal rate only applies to earnings within the applicable marginal tax bracket , which are the same in Rhode Island for single filers and couples filing jointly.

The Federal Income Tax, by contrast, has different tax brackets for Single, Married Filing Jointly, and Head of Household taxpayers.

How do Rhode Island tax brackets work?

Technically, you don't have just one "tax bracket" - you pay all of the Rhode Island marginal tax rates from the lowest tax bracket to the tax bracket in which you earned your last dollar. For comparison purposes, however, your Rhode Island 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. The chart below breaks down the Rhode Island tax brackets using this model:

For earnings between $0.00 and $77,450.00, you'll pay 3.75%
For earnings between $77,450.00 and $176,050.00, you'll pay 4.75% plus $2,904.38
For earnings over $176,050.00, you'll pay 5.99% plus $7,587.88
For earnings between $0.00 and $77,450.00, you'll pay 3.75%
For earnings between $77,450.00 and $176,050.00, you'll pay 4.75% plus $2,904.38
For earnings over $176,050.00, you'll pay 5.99% plus $7,587.88

Rhode Island Tax Deductions

When calculating your Rhode Island income tax, keep in mind that the Rhode Island 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 Rhode Island standard deduction, exemptions for dependants, business expenses, etc.

Remember that Rhode Island 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 Rhode Island income tax return.

Rhode Island Standard Deductions & Personal Exemption Amounts


In addition to marginal tax brackets, one of the major features of the Rhode Island income tax is deductions. The three most common deductions encountered by taxpayers are the Rhode Island Standard Deduction, the Rhode Island Personal Exemption, and the Rhode Island Dependent Deduction. The current values of these deductions for tax year 2024 are as follows:

Standard Deduction (Single) Standard Deduction (MFJ) Personal Exemption Dependant Exemption
$10,550.00 $21,150.00 $4,950.00 $4,950.00

The standard deduction, which Rhode Island has, is a deduction that is available by default to all taxpayers who do not instead choose to file an itemized deduction. Essentially, it translates to $10,550.00 per year of tax-free income for single Rhode Island taxpayers, and $21,150.00 for those filing jointly.

The Personal Exemption, which is supported by the Rhode Island income tax, is an additional deduction you can take if you (and not someone else) are primarily responsible for your own living expenses. Likewise, you can take an additional dependent exemption for each qualifying dependent (like a child or family member), who you financially support.

The Federal income tax also has a standard deduction, personal exemptions, and dependant deductions, though they are different amounts than Rhode Island's and may have different rules.
