Income tax in Indiana
Indiana taxes wage income on a progressive schedule — 1 brackets running from 2.95% to 2.95% for single filers. This calculator applies Indiana's real 2026 brackets, its standard deduction ($1,000 single / $2,000 married) and its personal exemption, so the state-tax line follows the actual schedule rather than a flat-rate guess.
Indiana income tax brackets for 2026
Single filers. Each rate applies only to the income falling inside that band — these are marginal rates, not a flat rate on the whole salary.
| Taxable income over | Rate |
|---|---|
| $0 | 2.95% |
State taxable income is your pay after Indiana's standard deduction and personal exemption of $1,000 for a single filer ($2,000 married filing jointly).
How Indiana compares
Indiana sits in the lower-middle of state income tax burdens. On $100,000 a single filer pays $2,920, ranking 38th of 51. Comparable states include Pennsylvania ($3,070), Rhode Island ($3,148) and Iowa ($3,188). Even so, the effective rate is far below Indiana's 2.95% top marginal rate.
Worked example: $100,000 in Indiana
Take a single filer on $100,000 in Indiana. After the $1,000 standard deduction and personal exemption, state taxable income is $99,000:
| Income band | Rate | Tax |
|---|---|---|
| $0 – $99,000 | 2.95% | $2,920 |
| Total state tax | — | $2,920 |
The effective rate works out to 2.9% of gross salary — far below the 2.95% top marginal rate, because only the last slice of income is taxed at that rate.

Why does my actual paycheck differ from this estimate?
Real paychecks reflect your W-4 withholding choices and pre-tax benefits. For Indiana, some cities and counties levy a local income tax on top of the state rate, which this calculator does not include — use the local tax field above. This calculator is a planning estimate, not a payroll prediction.
