Georgia withholds a flat 4.99% after a $15,000 standard deduction and $5,000 per G-4 allowance.

How Georgia withholding works

Your employer annualizes your wages, subtracts the Georgia standard deduction for your G-4 status ($15,000 single, head of household or married with both spouses working; $30,000 married filing jointly with one income) and $5,000 for each dependent or additional allowance, then withholds 4.99%.

The 2026 rate cut

HB 463, signed May 11, 2026, lowered Georgia's rate from 5.19% to 4.99% for all of 2026. Employers could start withholding at 4.99% from May 11, so paychecks earlier in the year were withheld at 5.19% — the difference comes back when you file.

No local income tax or disability deduction

Georgia cities and counties don't tax wages and there's no state disability deduction, so your check shows federal tax, FICA and Georgia income tax.
