Georgia charges 5.19% flat state income tax. Use the quarterly tax estimator pre-loaded with Georgia rates.
Open Quarterly Tax Estimator →Quarterly estimated payments in Georgia must cover both your federal and state obligations.

This estimator pre-loads Georgia's tax rates so you can calculate both federal and state quarterly amounts in one place, avoiding underpayment penalties at both levels.
Georgia levies a flat 5.19% state income tax on all taxable income regardless of how much you earn. This makes tax planning straightforward: for every additional dollar you earn, 5.19 cents goes to Georgia. Georgia does not impose local income taxes, so the 5.19% flat rate is the only state-level income tax you owe.
