Paycheck CalculatorIllinois

Illinois uses a flat 4.95% income tax with no graduated brackets and no standard deduction. This page estimates an Illinois paycheck by adding the flat Illinois rate to 2026 federal income tax, Social Security, and Medicare; the small Illinois personal exemption is not modeled, so the state line runs slightly high.

Estimate for the 2026 tax year using the federal standard deduction and published IRS/SSA rates. It does not model itemized deductions, tax credits, dependents, or local city taxes. Illinois applies a flat 4.95% rate. The Illinois personal exemption allowance is omitted, so this estimate runs slightly high. Not tax advice.
