South Carolina assumptions and local taxes

Act 110 of 2026 applies for tax years beginning after 2025. The calculator models the new SCIAD deduction and statutory income phaseout; credits are excluded. This page models full-year resident wages under the encoded progressive annual income-tax schedule. Credits, dependents, reciprocity, nonresident allocation, and employer withholding-certificate elections can change the final liability or the amount withheld from an individual paycheck.

The state estimate uses resident wage income and the dataset’s progressive schedule. It does not model credits, dependents, nonresident allocation, reciprocity, special deductions, or state withholding-certificate elections.
