Georgia Paycheck Calculator
Enter your pay, hours and deductions to estimate Georgia net pay per paycheck, plus weekly, biweekly, monthly and annual equivalents. Georgia income-tax withholding is shown as its own line, and any additional Georgia amount you requested on Form G-4 appears separately. This estimates the Georgia tax your employer withholds from a paycheck — it is not your final annual Georgia income-tax liability.
Georgia withholds one flat rate under the percentage method in the 2026 Employer's Tax Guide: the standard deduction published for your Form G-4 marital status and your pay frequency comes off first, then the allowance deduction for each dependent and adjustment allowance, and 4.99% applies to what is left. Your Georgia marital status is a separate election on Form G-4 — it is not your federal Form W-4 filing status.

How Georgia withholding is calculated
How the Georgia percentage method works
Georgia starts from the wages for the pay period, subtracts the standard deduction published for your Form G-4 marital status at your pay frequency — $288.46 weekly for single filers, $576.92 weekly for married couples filing jointly with one spouse working — then subtracts the allowance deduction for every dependent allowance and Georgia adjustment allowance, and never goes below zero. Georgia withholding is 4.99% of the remainder. On $1,000 of weekly wages, a single employee with no allowances is taxed on $711.54 and Georgia withholding is $35.51.
Why the rate changed on May 11, 2026
Employers continued to use 5.19% for Georgia withholding before the effective date and could begin using 4.99% starting May 11, 2026. This calculator estimates current withholding using 4.99%, so a Georgia pay stub issued earlier in 2026 was withheld at the higher rate and will not match these figures. The Department of Revenue publishes both the rate and the pay-period deduction amounts in its 2026 Employer's Tax Guide.
Form G-4 marital status, not Form W-4
Georgia asks for its own marital status on Form G-4: single; married filing separately, or married filing jointly with both spouses working; married filing jointly with one spouse working; or head of household. Only married couples filing jointly with one spouse working receive the larger standard deduction. Your federal Form W-4 filing status still drives federal withholding, and changing one does not change the other.
Dependent and adjustment allowances
Both kinds of allowance use the same deduction amount for your pay frequency — $96.15 weekly, $192.31 biweekly, $208.33 semimonthly or $416.67 monthly — and they are added together, never counted twice. Claim Georgia adjustment allowances only if the Form G-4 adjustment-allowance worksheet supports the number you entered. Enough allowances can reduce Georgia taxable wages for the period to zero, in which case nothing is withheld.
Additional and exempt Georgia withholding
Form G-4 lets you ask for an extra dollar amount of Georgia withholding each paycheck; it is added once, after the percentage method, and appears as its own line whenever it is not zero. If you claimed exemption from Georgia withholding on your Form G-4, select the exempt option and Georgia withholding shows $0 with no extra amount added. Whether you qualify for exemption is not decided here — check the Form G-4 instructions.
Tips, overtime and bonuses
Taxable tips and overtime compensation stay in the Georgia wages this calculator withholds on, consistent with the guide's instruction that employers continue their existing Georgia withholding calculations for 2026. Taxable bonus and other supplemental compensation allocated to the paycheck is withheld at the same current 4.99% Georgia rate. Federal tip and overtime deductions are not applied to Georgia withholding, because the Georgia Department of Revenue has not issued payroll-calculation instructions supporting that treatment.
No Georgia city or county wage tax
Georgia does not administer a municipal, county or school-district wage tax alongside state withholding, so there is no local rate to look up and no local line in the result. Georgia withholding is the single state row, with any extra amount you requested shown separately.
Why your actual paycheck can differ
Employers round differently, may apply a Form G-4 you have since revised, and deduct benefits, garnishments or after-tax items this estimate does not know about. Mid-year pay changes, multiple jobs and supplemental payments shift withholding too. Withholding is a prepayment: your Georgia liability is settled on your annual return.

Georgia paycheck questions
What the Georgia estimate includes, which official schedules it uses, and what it deliberately leaves out.
What is the Georgia withholding rate for 2026?
Georgia withholding is 4.99% of wages for the pay period after the standard deduction for your Form G-4 marital status and the deduction for each allowance you claimed. This calculator uses 4.99% throughout.
Why did Georgia withholding change on May 11, 2026?
Employers continued using 5.19% before the effective date and could begin using 4.99% starting May 11, 2026. This calculator estimates current withholding at 4.99%, so a Georgia paycheck issued earlier in 2026 will not match these figures.
Which Georgia marital status should I choose?
Choose the status you claimed on your own Form G-4: single; married filing separately or married filing jointly with both spouses working; married filing jointly with one spouse working; or head of household. Only married filing jointly with one spouse working receives the larger standard deduction, and this election is separate from your federal Form W-4.
How do dependent and Georgia adjustment allowances work?
Both use the same deduction amount for your pay frequency and are added together, never counted twice. Enter Georgia adjustment allowances only if the Form G-4 adjustment-allowance worksheet supports the number you claimed.
What does exempt from Georgia withholding do?
Selecting it sets Georgia withholding to $0 and adds no additional Georgia amount. Use it only if you qualify and claimed exemption on your Form G-4; this calculator does not decide whether you qualify.
