How Do I Update My North Dakota Tax Tables?


Where do I find the tax tables?

For ND withholding tables you will need the current Withholding Rates and Instructions booklet from the ND Department of Revenue website.

Which tables do I use?

There are two sets of tax tables published for North Dakota. Those for use on employees with a W4 form from prior to 2020 and different tables for those with a W4 form from 2020 and beyond. Both sets of tables can be found in the Withholding Rates and Instructions booklet linked above.

Note that the figures shown in this document are for demonstration purposes only, and may not be current. Please consult the current publication for the most up-to-date information. Though the figures change periodically, the method of calculation should remain the same. If the calculation method has changed for this state please notify the webmaster.

  • Withholding allowance: Enter the annual amount for one withholding allowance. This is found in the Withholding Rates and Instructions booklet under the section that describes the percentage of wages method. Figure 2 shows an example.
