What actually lands in your bank account from a Indiana paycheck in 2026 — every deduction line, per paycheck and per year, computed from the official tables.

The same numbers, in the shape you see at work. It rewrites itself as you change the inputs above.
Each bar starts where the previous one ended. What is left at the bottom is your paycheck.
| Line | Per paycheck | Per year |
|---|---|---|
| Gross pay | $2,885 | $75,000 |
| Federal income tax | -$295 | -$7,670 |
| Social Security | -$179 | -$4,650 |
| Medicare | -$42 | -$1,088 |
| Indiana income tax | -$84 | -$2,183 |
| Take-home pay | $2,285 | $59,410 |
Withholding in real life follows the IRS and Indiana withholding tables paycheck by paycheck, so an individual check can differ by a few dollars from this annualised estimate; the year-end totals are what the tables aim at.
| Frequency | Take-home per check | Gross per check |
|---|---|---|
| Weekly (52×/yr) | $1,142 | $1,442 |
| Biweekly (26×/yr) | $2,285 | $2,885 |
| Semimonthly (24×/yr) | $2,475 | $3,125 |
| Monthly (12×/yr) | $4,951 | $6,250 |
| Salary | Gross per check | Take-home per check | Take-home per year |
|---|---|---|---|
| $50,000 | $1,923 | $1,573 | $40,910 |
| $75,000 | $2,885 | $2,285 | $59,410 |
| $100,000 | $3,846 | $2,933 | $76,260 |

The state-specific rules behind the numbers above — the things a generic calculator gets wrong about Indiana.
Indiana's headline 2.95% is only the state layer. All 92 counties add their own Local Income Tax (Indiana Code § 6-3.6), ranging from about 0.5% to 3.0% for 2026, so combined rates run from roughly 3.45% to nearly 6%. Your county is fixed by where you lived on 1 January — moving mid-year does not change it — and employers withhold county tax alongside state tax.

Indiana does not use the federal standard deduction or federal itemised deductions. Tax starts from federal AGI with Indiana-specific additions and subtractions, and the main relief is a personal exemption of just $1,000 per person (with an additional $1,000 for filers aged 65+). That is far less shelter than neighbouring states offer, which partly offsets Indiana's low headline rate.

Social Security and railroad retirement benefits included in federal AGI are fully deducted on the Indiana return, so they escape both the state rate and the county tax. Military retirement pay is also fully exempt. Most other pensions and IRA/401(k) withdrawals remain taxable at 2.95% plus county tax.

The 2.95% rate is one step in a legislated schedule written into Indiana Code § 6-3-2-1: 3.15% in 2023, 3.05% in 2024, 3.00% in 2025, 2.95% in 2026 and 2.90% in 2027, with a possible further trigger-based reduction mechanism from 2030.

Every one of Indiana's 92 counties levies a local income tax on top of the 2.95% state rate — there is no Indiana county without one. County rates for 2026 run from about 0.5% (Porter County) to 3.0% (Randolph County); Marion County (Indianapolis) charges 2.02% and Hamilton County 1.10%. Your rate is set by your county of residence on 1 January and applies for the full year. Tax Foundation puts the average local burden at roughly 0.35% of AGI across taxpayers, but the rate you actually pay depends entirely on your county.
