How Indiana taxes your paycheck in 2026
Indiana applies a single 3.0% flat income tax to adjusted gross income — one of the lowest state rates in the country and on a path to fall further toward 2.9%. The Indiana Department of Revenue keeps the state portion simple, though every county adds its own local income tax on top.
The 3.0% flat rate
Indiana taxes your state adjusted gross income at a flat 3.0% for 2026. Unlike many states, Indiana does not offer a large standard deduction — instead it uses modest personal exemptions. This calculator applies the state flat rate to your wages.
| Gross salary | IN state tax (≈3.0%) | Est. take-home |
|---|---|---|
| $45,000 | ~$1,350 | ~$37,300 |
| $58,000 | ~$1,740 | ~$46,300 |
| $90,000 | ~$2,700 | ~$69,100 |
| $130,000 | ~$3,900 | ~$96,500 |
State portion only. Single filer, 2026 federal brackets and FICA.
Comparing Indiana to other states
Indiana's 3.0% state rate is among the lowest, just above Arizona and Pennsylvania. Once county taxes are added, the effective rate climbs closer to flat-tax Michigan or Ohio.
