Indiana Paycheck Calculator

Indiana withholds a flat 2.95% state rate plus your county of residence's own flat rate — Indiana is one of the few states where every one of its 92 counties levies an additional income tax, ranging from 0.5% (Porter County) to 3.0% (Randolph County) in 2026. Both taxes apply to the same wages after WH-4 exemptions.

Indiana paycheck FAQs

Which county's rate applies to my paycheck?

Your county of residence as of January 1 of the tax year — not the county where you work. If you live in one Indiana county and commute to a job in another, your withholding still uses your home county's rate.

Why do county rates vary so much across Indiana?

Indiana counties independently set their own local income tax rate to fund county government, and rates can change twice a year (typically January and October). Rural counties with smaller tax bases sometimes set notably higher rates than more populous ones.

What exemptions can I claim on Form WH-4?

Personal exemptions (yourself, spouse, and age-65-or-blind status) are worth $1,000/year each, standard dependent exemptions are $1,500/year each, and adopted children qualify for a larger $3,000/year exemption — all reducing the wages subject to both state and county tax.
