How Rhode Island withholding works

State form: RI W-4.

Rhode Island's percentage method: from annualized wages subtract $1,000 per exemption (the exemption disappears entirely once wages pass $290,800 a year) and apply the single all-status schedule. There is no standard deduction in Rhode Island withholding.

Current parameters

applies to	all filing statuses (single schedule)
exemption per allowance annual	1,000
exemption phaseout	exemption is $0 when period wages exceed thresholds equivalent to $290,800/year (e.g. weekly >$5,592.31, monthly >$24,233.33)
brackets annual	3 entries (see the cited publication)
notes	Percentage method pp.9-10 plus wage-bracket rate tables per period. No standard deduction in the withholding computation - wages less $1,000-per-exemption only. Since Jan 1, 2020 employers may NOT rely on federal W-4; Form RI W-4 is required in addition to federal W-4.
