Notes about paychecks in Colorado

Colorado has a flat 4.40% state income tax rate in 2026 (down from earlier years due to TABOR refunds).
Colorado's income tax base starts with federal taxable income, so the state automatically uses the federal standard deduction.
TABOR (Taxpayer's Bill of Rights) can trigger temporary rate reductions in years when state revenue exceeds the cap.
A few Colorado cities (Denver, Aurora, Glendale, Sheridan) levy small Occupational Privilege Taxes (a flat few dollars per month), but these are not state income taxes.
