  • The 13.30% top bracket includes the 1% Proposition 63 surcharge on income above $1 million. California has not published its 2026 bracket thresholds yet — the FTB tells taxpayers to use the 2025 table to estimate 2026, which is what this does.

What this does not cover: local (county and city) income tax, the AMT, capital gains, self-employment income and credits beyond the standard deduction. This is an estimate for planning, not tax advice.
