How Indiana taxes your paycheck
Indiana uses a flat 2.95% income tax for 2026. The rate applies to your taxable wages, which start from your pay and then subtract a personal exemption of $1,000 ($2,000 for a couple) and $1,000 for each dependent.
Because the rate is flat, every taxable dollar is taxed at 2.95%, whatever you earn.
Also worth knowing: Every Indiana county charges a local income tax on top of the state tax.
Source for the rates and deductions: Tax Foundation, State Individual Income Tax Rates and Brackets, 2026. State rules change, so check your state tax agency for filing.

Ways to keep more of your pay in Indiana
- Use a traditional 401(k) or 403(b). Each $1,000 you contribute lowers your federal taxable pay and your Indiana taxable pay.
- Use payroll benefits. Health insurance premiums, an FSA and an HSA paid through payroll lower your taxable pay.
- Check your W-4. If you get a very large refund or a bill every April, adjust your withholding. Our guide to reading your paycheck shows how.
- Look at your state withholding form. Indiana has its own withholding form or allowances, separate from the federal W-4.
- Compare job offers after tax, not before. A job in Indiana that pays $5,000 more can leave you with a different gain than the number suggests. Use the calculator above for both.
