Paycheck taxes in Colorado

Colorado taxes income at a flat 4.4% for tax year 2025, applied to federal taxable income — so the federal standard deduction is already built into the base before the state rate applies. The rate was temporarily cut to 4.25% for 2024 under the TABOR surplus mechanism, but the 2025 surplus fell just under the trigger, so the full 4.4% statutory rate applies for 2025. Capital gains are taxed as ordinary income.
