California State Income Tax Overview

California uses a progressive income tax system with rates ranging from 1.0% to 13.3%. Higher portions of income are taxed at higher rates — meaning moving into a higher bracket doesn't increase the tax on income already in lower brackets. Includes 1% Mental Health Services Tax on income over $1 million.
