Guide: Self-employment tax in Oklahoma - 2025 brackets and the 2026 schedule
Oklahoma freelancers owe three layers of tax: federal self-employment tax, federal income tax, and Oklahoma tax. The 2025 single-filer brackets are 0.25% to $1,000, 0.75% to $2,500, 1.75% to $3,750, 2.75% to $4,900, 3.75% to $7,200, and 4.75% above that. The low top threshold means most freelance profit is taxed at 4.75% once deductions are used up.
A single filer subtracts a $6,350 standard deduction and a $1,000 personal exemption for 2025. The enacted 2026 schedule under HB 2764 is 0% on the first $3,750, 2.5% on the next $1,150, 3.5% on the next $2,300, and 4.5% on the remainder, with a possible revenue trigger for later cuts. The 2026 standard deduction was left unchanged by that law.
Worked example for 2025. On $50,000 of income, Oklahoma taxable income is $50,000 minus $6,350 minus $1,000 = $42,650. The tax is $2.50 + $11.25 + $21.88 + $31.63 + $86.25 + 4.75% of $35,450 ($1,683.88) = $1,837.39. On $100,000, taxable income is $92,650 and the tax is $153.51 + 4.75% of $85,450 ($4,058.88) = $4,212.39.

The 2026 schedule starts with 0% on the first $3,750, where 2025 charges 0.25% to 1.75% across that range, and tops out at 4.5% instead of 4.75%. At $50,000 of taxable income the 2026 schedule would give a lower bill than the 2025 example above, but this page keeps its examples on the verified 2025 schedule.
