How Montana taxes your paycheck
Montana has a progressive income tax from 4.7% to 5.65%. Your employer withholds it from every check using the state's 2026 withholding formula and your MW-4.
For 2026 the standard deduction is $16,100 for single filers and $32,200 for married couples filing jointly.
When a bonus or commission is paid separately from regular wages, your employer may withhold Montana tax on it at the flat supplemental rate of 5%.
Montana has reciprocal agreements with ND: if you live in one of those states and work in Montana, you can ask your employer to withhold only your home state's tax.
