Indiana state tax uses Form WH-4 with 1 exemption (yourself), 2 for married (you and your spouse), and no dependents. Indiana county income tax is not included. Each county has its own rate, and almost every Indiana worker is taxed by one. Add it to the result on this page to estimate your pay in Indiana.

Each paycheck is the yearly amount divided by the number of paychecks, in cents. If your pay is over the Social Security limit of $184,500.00, your real paychecks have no Social Security tax late in the year. The average rate is your taxes divided by your pay. The marginal rate is the same taxes on your next dollar. This is an estimate for 2026.

Indiana tax on your paycheck

Indiana taxes wages at a flat 2.95% in 2026, after $1,000 for each exemption on Form WH-4. County income tax is not included: nearly every Indiana worker also pays a county tax of 0.5% to 3.0% of wages (2026 rates), set by the county where they live on 1 January (or work, if they live outside Indiana), so your real withholding is higher than the number here.
