Paychecks in New Mexico
- New Mexico has no state withholding form and uses the filing status from the federal W-4, with no allowances, though employees may file a separate W-4 copy marked for New Mexico only.
- The 2026 tables withhold nothing on the first $8,050 a year for single filers ($16,100 married, $12,075 head of household), then apply rates from 1.5% up to 5.9%.
- Each covered employee is also assessed a workers' compensation fee of $2.25 per quarter, which the calculator spreads evenly across paychecks instead of taking it once a quarter.
- Supplemental pay is withheld at a flat 5.9% when federal withholding on it also uses a flat rate, and New Mexico has no local income taxes.
