Frequently asked questions

At $20 an hour and 40 hours a week, a biweekly paycheck of $1,600.00 has $108.15 of federal income tax, $122.40 of Social Security and Medicare withheld. You take home $1,369.45, or 85.6%. This is an estimate for a single filer with one job and no deductions.
Does South Dakota have a state income tax on wages?
No. South Dakota does not withhold state income tax from your paycheck; you will only see federal income tax, Social Security and Medicare.
Are there city or county taxes in South Dakota?
We found no local taxes withheld from employee paychecks in South Dakota.
Is overtime taxed more?
There is no special rate for overtime: it is added to your pay for the period and withholding is figured on the total, which is why the check grows less than you expect. From 2025 through 2028 you can deduct from federal income tax the extra half of your overtime (up to $12,500; $25,000 if married) if your income is under $150,000; it only lowers each paycheck's withholding if you entered it on your W-4.
How accurate is this paycheck calculator?
It uses the official 2026 withholding rules from the IRS and South Dakota. It is still an estimate: your employer knows your W-4, your deductions and your year-to-date earnings. It is not tax or legal advice.
