Oklahoma After-Tax Yield Calculator

What a savings account or CD keeps after Oklahoma's income tax (2.5% to 4.5% in 2026) and federal tax, and whether a Treasury bill, which Oklahoma can't tax, keeps more.

In Oklahoma, a 4.5% APY keeps 3.31% after 22% federal and 4.5% state tax. A 4% Treasury bill, which Oklahoma can't tax, keeps 3.12%, so the savings account keeps 0.19% more.

How this calculator works

Bank interest (savings, money market and CDs) is ordinary income to Oklahoma and to the IRS. After-tax yield = APY × (1 − federal rate − Oklahoma rate − local rate).

Treasury bills, notes and bonds are taxed only federally: federal law bars states from taxing their interest (31 U.S.C. 3124). After-tax yield = T-bill yield × (1 − federal rate).

The Oklahoma rates are its 2026 brackets as compiled by the Tax Foundation from state law. Choose the bracket your taxable income falls in; the calculator starts at the rate for a single filer with $75,000 of taxable income (4.50%).

What it assumes

  • Your marginal rates apply to all of the interest.
  • Oklahoma has no widespread local income tax on interest.
  • It ignores the state tax deduction on your federal return, which matters only if you itemise and are under the SALT cap.

Questions people ask

Does Oklahoma tax interest from savings accounts and CDs?

Yes. Oklahoma taxes bank interest as ordinary income at 2.5% to 4.5% in 2026, on top of federal income tax.

Are Treasury bills taxable in Oklahoma?

No. Interest on Treasury bills, notes, bonds and US savings bonds is exempt from Oklahoma income tax by federal law. It is still taxed federally.

Is a T-bill or a CD better in Oklahoma?

At Oklahoma's 4.50% rate and a 22% federal bracket, a 4.50% CD keeps 3.31%, the same as a T-bill yielding 4.24%. A T-bill paying more than that keeps more.

Do Treasury money market funds avoid Oklahoma tax?

Most states let you exclude the share of a fund's dividends that came from Treasury interest. Check Oklahoma's income tax instructions for the rule and the percentage your fund reports.
