Where every line on a Delaware paystub comes from

Delaware employee paystubs in this app automatically show a single Delaware State Income Tax line. Delaware Paid Leave may involve employee contributions only if the employer requires them, so no automatic employee paid-leave deduction row is emitted until the form captures that employer election.

Line Who pays Rate Wage base
Employer Medicare
Employer Medicare tax is 1.45% of wages with no annual wage base limit.
 Employer 1.45% No cap
Employer Social Security
Employer Social Security tax is 6.2% of taxable wages up to the 2026 wage base of $184,500.
 Employer 6.2% $184,500
FUTA
Federal unemployment tax is an employer-paid tax. The gross FUTA rate is 6.0% on the first $7,000 of wages before any state-credit reduction adjustments.
 Employer 6% $7,000
Federal Income Tax
Federal employee withholding uses the 2026 federal wage-bracket or percentage-method rules.
 Employee Bracket or formula based No cap
Medicare
Employee Medicare withholding is 1.45% of wages with no annual wage base limit.
 Employee 1.45% No cap
Social Security
Employee Social Security withholding is 6.2% of taxable wages up to the 2026 wage base of $184,500.
 Employee 6.2% $184,500
DE Employer Paid Leave
Delaware Paid Leave contributions began in 2025 and are generally funded at less than 1% of wages. Employers may require employees to contribute up to half the cost, and required coverage depends on employer size and leave category, so this line still requires employer-plan-specific contribution inputs.
 Employer User supplied No cap
DE State Income Tax
Annualized Delaware withholding brackets from the current state-tax model.
6 annualized brackets
Annual wages over But not over Base tax Plus
$0 $2,000 $0 0%
$2,000 $5,000 $0 2.2%
$5,000 $10,000 $90 3.9%
$10,000 $20,000 $390 3.9%
$20,000 $60,000 $990 5.2%
$60,000 and up $3,090 6.6%
Employee Progressive brackets No cap
DE UI Contribution
Delaware unemployment insurance is employer-paid. The exact contribution depends on the employer's assigned state unemployment rate notice and the current taxable wage base for the selected tax year, so this line remains calculator-only until employer-specific rate input is captured.

Delaware paystub law

What Delaware law actually requires on a paystub.

Wage statement requirements

19 Delaware Code § 1108 requires each employer to provide a statement of the employee's wages with each pay period, showing the deductions made from those wages. The Delaware Department of Labor Office of Anti-Discrimination + Office of Labor Law Enforcement handles wage-claim complaints. Paydays must be at least monthly (most employers run bi-weekly or semi-monthly). Civil penalties apply for non-payment; the state's incorporation-friendly status makes paystub compliance a relatively routine matter for the many financial-services employers headquartered there.

Using a Delaware paystub for proof of income

Delaware's rental market in Wilmington and the Newark / University of Delaware corridor follows mainstream verification practices — 30 days of stubs at 3× rent gross is the common rule. Many financial-services employees in Wilmington (banks, credit-card issuers, mutual-fund administrators) receive standard institutional paystubs that property managers accept without question. AstraZeneca and other pharmaceutical employers in the Newark area follow similar patterns.
