Net pay in Indiana = gross salary minus federal withholdings minus Indiana income tax. Federal (tax year 2026, Rev. Proc. 2025-32): income tax on gross minus the standard deduction ($16,100 single / $32,200 married) run through the seven brackets (10%–37%); Social Security is 6.2% up to $184,500; Medicare is 1.45% plus 0.9% over $200,000 (single) / $250,000 (married). Indiana has no standard deduction; it subtracts a $1,000-per-person exemption ($2,000 for a married couple) and applies a flat 2.95% state rate. Worked example — $60,000, single: federal income tax $5,020.00, Social Security $3,720.00, Medicare $870.00, Indiana state income tax $1,740.50 ((60,000 − 1,000) × 2.95%); net $48,649.50 per year, about $1,871.13 per biweekly paycheck. IMPORTANT: most Indiana counties add their own local income tax (roughly 1–3%) that this estimate does not include.

Indiana taxes income at a flat 2.95% at the state level — but there’s an important second layer:
county income taxes. This calculator itemizes your federal withholding and the Indiana state
tax for 2026, and is explicit about what it leaves out.

Two layers: state plus county
Indiana’s state rate is a low flat 2.95% (and still trending down), applied after a small $1,000
personal exemption — about $1,741 on a $60,000 salary. But nearly every Indiana county adds its
own Local Income Tax (LIT), usually 1–3%, based on where you live. Because that rate is
county-specific, this tool deliberately shows the state portion only and flags the county tax
rather than guessing it. To get your true take-home, look up your county’s LIT rate and add it to the
state figure.
Why we don’t bake in a county rate
Guessing a county rate would make the number wrong for most users. A worker in one county can pay
noticeably more than a neighbor one county over. Keeping the estimate to the verified state rate — and
telling you plainly to add your county’s LIT — is the honest way to handle it.

Frequently asked questions
What is the Indiana state income tax rate?
Indiana uses a single flat state rate of 2.95% for 2026, and the rate has been stepping down over the last few years. It applies after a small $1,000-per-person exemption. On top of the state rate, almost every Indiana county adds its own local income tax.
Why does my Indiana paycheck have an extra local tax?
Indiana counties levy their own income tax (the Local Income Tax, or LIT), typically 1–3%, based on where you live. This is separate from the 2.95% state rate and can add meaningfully to your total. Because it depends on your specific county, this calculator shows the state portion only and flags the county tax as not included.
How much is withheld from a $60,000 paycheck in Indiana?
For a single filer in 2026, the state portion is about $5,020 federal income tax, $3,720 Social Security, $870 Medicare, and roughly $1,741 Indiana state income tax — about $48,650 a year before county income tax, which you should add based on your county rate.
Which tax year does this use?
Tax year 2026: the IRS federal figures from Rev. Proc. 2025-32, the SSA $184,500 wage base, and Indiana's 2.95% flat state rate with the $1,000 personal exemption. County rates are not modeled.
