Danville Paycheck Calculator

Danville, Kentucky withholds a 1.90% local occupational (payroll) tax on wages earned in the city — $19.00 out of every $1,000 you earn, and Boyle County adds a separate 1.25% on the same wages, for 3.15% of local tax in total.

Danville withholds 1.90% of your gross wages for the local occupational tax — about $19.00 on every $1,000 of pay. It is withheld on gross wages, before federal income tax, Kentucky's 3.5% flat state tax, and FICA (Social Security and Medicare) are applied.

The 1.90% Danville occupational tax is based on where you work, not where you live. If you earn wages in Danville (Boyle County), it is generally withheld even if you live in another city or county. If you live in Danville but work elsewhere, you usually owe that other jurisdiction's rate instead.

A Danville paycheck is reduced by four layers: federal income tax (progressive brackets), Kentucky's 3.5% flat state tax after the $3,360 standard deduction, FICA at 6.2% Social Security plus 1.45% Medicare, and Danville's 1.90% occupational tax. Enter your pay above to see all four broken out line by line.

Yes. Boyle County's own wording is that everyone pays the county's 1.25% and additionally 1.90% if the work is inside the Danville city limits — so working in Danville means 3.15% of local tax, the highest combined rate among the cities modeled here. That is why the total local burden (3.15%) is higher than the 1.90% city rate on its own.
