How Oklahoma withholding works
- Subtract $1,000 a year for each OK-W-4 allowance ($41.67 per semi-monthly paycheck, for example).
- Apply the 2026 percentage table for your pay period and marital status – three bands at 2.5%, 3.5% and 4.5% above a tax-free amount.
- Round to the nearest dollar.
The Tax Commission’s example – $1,825 semi-monthly, married, two allowances – gives $36.67, withheld as $37. This calculator reproduces it.
