Understanding Rhode Island Income Taxes
Residents of Rhode Island pay state income tax on top of federal taxes. Rhode Island has one uniform schedule for every filing status (3.75%/4.75%/5.99%). A millionaire surtax phases in from 2027 — but does not apply in 2026. The amount you owe depends on your taxable income, filing status, and the deductions and credits Rhode Island allows.
