How Indiana taxes your paycheck
Indiana applies a single flat rate to taxable wages, with a personal exemption taken as a deduction before the rate applies.
| Taxable income above | Rate | Income above (married, joint) | Rate |
|---|---|---|---|
| $0 | 2.95% | $0 | 2.95% |
One rate applies to every dollar, so the filing status does not change the rate itself.
No standard deduction applies to wage income in this state, so the rate starts from the first taxable dollar unless an exemption below reduces it.
A $1,000 personal exemption reduces taxable income before brackets apply, and $2,000 for joint filers.
Indiana taxes wage income at a single 2.95% across every dollar. By top rate, this state ranks 39th of the 42 taxing jurisdictions compared here. Local income taxes levied by counties, cities or school districts add roughly 0.35% of income on average, and this figure leaves them out.
What the median earner keeps in Indiana
Median earnings in Indiana are about $44,095 for people with earnings, and median household income is $71,959. A single filer earning that amount takes home roughly $3,028 a month, an effective rate of 17.6% once federal, FICA and state taxes are applied.
Earnings and income are 2024 ACS one-year estimates covering everyone with earnings, so part-time and part-year workers pull this median below a full-time salary. State tax figures come from the state revenue department.
