How much tax will I pay on a $75,000 salary in New Mexico?
Roughly $2,359 in New Mexico state income tax for a single filer taking the standard deduction in 2026. Add about $7,670 of federal income tax and $5,738 of FICA (7.65%), for total taxes near $15,767 and take-home around $59,233. Credits and other income can change this.

About 21.0% for a single filer earning $75,000 in 2026: federal income tax (~10.2%), FICA (7.65%), and New Mexico state tax (~3.1%). Your exact percentage depends on income, filing status, and pre-tax contributions like a 401(k).
Does New Mexico tax Social Security benefits?
Partially. Social Security is fully exempt when AGI is under $100,000 single / $150,000 joint / $75,000 married-separate — a cliff, not a phase-out; above the caps, the federally taxable portion is taxed.

Social Security is exempt under the AGI caps; 65+ filers get up to an $8,000 income-limited deduction, and military retirement is exempt up to $30,000 through 2026. Dependents after the first also earn a $4,000 deduction (not modeled here).
