How we calculate Minnesota take-home pay
Minnesota's income tax is notably higher than most Midwestern states. On a $100,000 salary, Minnesota state tax is approximately $6,800 — compared to $0 in South Dakota or $4,950 in Illinois. The Minneapolis-Saint Paul metro area offers strong salaries in healthcare, finance, and tech. South Dakota, which borders Minnesota and has no income tax, is sometimes considered by Minnesota residents seeking tax relief. However, the difference in economic opportunity and urban amenities between the Twin Cities and South Dakota's metros is significant.
