Rhode Island taxes and cost of living, explained

Rhode Island uses a progressive state income tax, with rates rising to 5.99% for the top bracket. Combined with an average sales tax of 7.00% and an average effective property tax rate of 1.32%, these figures shape most household budgeting decisions in the state — from evaluating a job offer to estimating what home you can afford.

The six calculators below all use Rhode Island's own current rates rather than national averages: paycheck withholding, state income tax, sales tax, property tax, a full mortgage (PITI) payment, and home affordability based on the standard 28/36 lending rule. Rhode Island's minimum wage is $16.00/hour, and the data behind these numbers is sourced from the Tax Foundation, WalletHub, and state revenue departments.
