  • Social Security stops after $184,500 of wages in 2026; Additional Medicare tax (0.9%) is withheld on wages over $200,000. This calculator shows a paycheck early in the year.

How Nebraska withholding works

  1. Subtract the value of your W-4N allowances ($2,440 a year each).
  2. Apply the 2026 percentage table for your pay period and status – rates of 2.26%, 3.22%, 4.21%, 4.35%, 4.48% and 4.60%.
  3. If the result is below 1.5% of wages, raise it to at least half the withholding for a single employee with one allowance (or married with two).

Bonuses paid separately can be withheld at a flat 3.5%.
