How New Mexico Calculates Income Tax
New Mexico uses a progressive tax system where income is divided into brackets and each portion is taxed at its marginal rate. These rules determine how wages and other taxable income are assessed for New Mexico returns, with updated tables released each year to reflect legislation and inflation changes. For a broader explanation of how tax tables work, see our Tax Tables guide.
New Mexico supports resident, nonresident and part-year filing rules. The tax tables help clarify which thresholds apply when income is earned both inside and outside the state.
