How Your OK Paycheck Works

Oklahoma paychecks start with federal income tax withholding under IRS Publication 15-T, using Form W-4, pay frequency, taxable wages, and filing status. FICA applies: Social Security is 6.2% on covered wages up to the 2026 wage base of $184,500, Medicare is 1.45% on all covered wages, and the 0.9% Additional Medicare Tax is withheld once wages exceed $200,000 in the calendar year. Oklahoma uses graduated state income tax withholding. The Oklahoma Tax Commission's 2026 withholding tables show percentage-method rates of 0%, 2.5%, 3.5%, and a top withholding rate of 4.5%, calculated after subtracting Oklahoma withholding allowances. Oklahoma does not have a separate statewide employee SDI or paid family leave payroll deduction. Estimates assume standard 2026 withholding, single filing status, and no pre-tax deductions; actual paycheck may differ.
