Both New Mexico's tax brackets and the associated tax rates were last changed three years ago in 2020.

New Mexico has five marginal tax brackets, ranging from 1.7% (the lowest New Mexico tax bracket) to 5.9% (the highest New Mexico tax bracket). Each marginal rate only applies to earnings within the applicable marginal tax bracket .

In New Mexico, different tax brackets are applicable to different filing types. Married couples filing their New Mexico income tax return jointly will usually have wider tax brackets than those filing separately or as an individual.

How do New Mexico tax brackets work?

Technically, you don't have just one "tax bracket" - you pay all of the New Mexico marginal tax rates from the lowest tax bracket to the tax bracket in which you earned your last dollar. For comparison purposes, however, your New Mexico tax bracket is the tax bracket in which your last earned dollar in any given tax period falls.

You can think of the bracketed income tax as a flat amount for all of the money you earned up to your highest tax bracket, plus a marginal percentage of any amount you earned over that. The chart below breaks down the New Mexico tax brackets using this model:

For earnings between $0.00 and $5,500.00, you'll pay 1.7%
For earnings between $5,500.00 and $11,000.00, you'll pay 3.2% plus $93.50
For earnings between $11,000.00 and $16,000.00, you'll pay 4.7% plus $269.50
For earnings between $16,000.00 and $210,000.00, you'll pay 4.9% plus $504.50
For earnings over $210,000.00, you'll pay 5.9% plus $10,010.50
For earnings between $0.00 and $8,000.00, you'll pay 1.7%
For earnings between $8,000.00 and $16,000.00, you'll pay 3.2% plus $136.00
For earnings between $16,000.00 and $24,000.00, you'll pay 4.7% plus $392.00
For earnings between $24,000.00 and $315,000.00, you'll pay 4.9% plus $768.00
For earnings over $315,000.00, you'll pay 5.9% plus $15,027.00

New Mexico Tax Deductions

When calculating your New Mexico income tax, keep in mind that the New Mexico state income tax brackets are only applied to your adjusted gross income (AGI) after you have made any qualifying deductions.

Qualifying deductions might include an itemized deduction, the New Mexico standard deduction, exemptions for dependants, business expenses, etc.

Remember that New Mexico may have very different deduction laws from the Federal Income Tax, so you may have to write a whole new list of deductions for your New Mexico income tax return.

New Mexico Standard Deductions & Personal Exemption Amounts


In addition to marginal tax brackets, one of the major features of the New Mexico income tax is deductions. The three most common deductions encountered by taxpayers are the New Mexico Standard Deduction, the New Mexico Personal Exemption, and the New Mexico Dependent Deduction. The current values of these deductions for tax year 2023 are as follows:

Standard Deduction (Single) Standard Deduction (MFJ) Personal Exemption Dependant Exemption
$13,850.00 $27,700.00 $0.00 $4,000.00

The standard deduction, which New Mexico has, is a deduction that is available by default to all taxpayers who do not instead choose to file an itemized deduction. Essentially, it translates to $13,850.00 per year of tax-free income for single New Mexico taxpayers, and $27,700.00 for those filing jointly.

The Personal Exemption, which is not supported by the New Mexico income tax, is an additional deduction you can take if you (and not someone else) are primarily responsible for your own living expenses. Likewise, you can take an additional dependent exemption for each qualifying dependent (like a child or family member), who you financially support.

The Federal income tax also has a standard deduction, personal exemptions, and dependant deductions, though they are different amounts than New Mexico's and may have different rules.
