How New Mexico withholding works

New Mexico withholds state income tax at rates from 1.5% to 5.9% of taxable wages, by the state's own withholding method.

The calculator needs no New Mexico form answers to work out its withholding.

401(k) contributions, health premiums, and HSA contributions all lower the wages New Mexico taxes, as they do for federal income tax.

A bonus paid on its own check has New Mexico income tax withheld at a flat 5.9%.
