Paycheck Calculator — Indiana
Indiana's flat rate stepped down to 2.95% for 2026 under the state's scheduled phase-down, with 2.9% already slated for 2027. The state line on a $60,000 salary is an estimated $1,770 in this model — but every Indiana county levies its own mandatory income tax on top, and those county rates are not included here.

Annual deductions from gross
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. Indiana applies a flat 2.95% rate under the state's scheduled phase-down. The $1,000 personal exemption and mandatory county income taxes, which vary by county, are not modeled. Not tax advice.
A shrinking rate with a county-tax asterisk
Indiana keeps cutting: 2.95% is the 2026 step of a legislated phase-down that continues to 2.9% in 2027. At 2.95% of AGI, a $60,000 salary produces $1,770 of estimated state tax, and the model's combined federal-plus-state math lands annual net pay near $48,620 — an 81.0% take-home rate.
The asterisk is local: all 92 Indiana counties impose a mandatory county income tax at rates that vary by county, and none of that is modeled here, nor is the $1,000 personal exemption. Your real combined Indiana withholding is therefore higher than this state line alone. This is a 2026 estimate, not tax advice.
Questions
- What happens to Indiana's income-tax rate after 2026?
- The legislated phase-down continues — 2.95% applies for 2026 and the rate is scheduled to fall to 2.9% in 2027. Each step slightly raises take-home pay without any change on the worker's part.
- Are Indiana county income taxes included in this estimate?
- No. Every Indiana county levies a mandatory local income tax at its own rate, collected through paycheck withholding alongside the state tax. Because those rates vary by county, this model excludes them — so an actual Indiana paycheck gives up more than the $1,770 state line shown for a $60,000 salary. It is a 2026 estimate, not tax advice.
