These are the 2025 tables, the latest New Jersey had published on 2026-10-27.

New Jersey had not published its 2026 tax tables when we read its official pages on 2026-10-27, so this page applies the 2025 schedule with the 2026 federal rules. State brackets move a little each year, so treat the result as an estimate. We update the page when the 2026 tables are posted.
