Understanding Your Colorado Paycheck

Your paycheck in Colorado is subject to federal taxes, FICA, a state flat tax, and a mandatory premium for the state's Paid Family and Medical Leave Insurance (FAMLI) program.

Colorado State Income Tax

Colorado has a flat income tax rate of **4.40%**. Unlike many states, Colorado calculates this tax based on your *federal taxable income* (your gross pay minus the federal standard deduction), not a separate state-specific calculation.

Colorado FAMLI Program

The FAMLI program provides paid leave for Colorado workers. It is funded by premiums paid by both employers and employees. For 2024, the employee's share is **0.45%** of their wages. Our calculator includes this deduction by default to provide a more accurate estimate of your take-home pay.
