Indiana taxes wages at a flat 2.95%. The model starts from a $1,000 personal exemption. Some cities or counties can add a local wage tax; this page leaves them off until you select one. Federal brackets and FICA are unchanged by the flat state rate.
A traditional 401(k) reduces the state wage base here; it does not reduce Social Security or Medicare. No state disability or paid-leave premium is modeled for employees here yet. Rate fell from 3% to 2.95% on January 1, 2026. A further cut to 2.9% is scheduled for 2027 and is not used here. The extra dependent exemption some families can claim is not modeled; the base $1,000 per dependent is.
The example table on this page is a single filer, biweekly, with no deductions, for tax year 2026. It is an educational estimate, not an employer payroll register or a filed return. Compare another state with the same salary when an offer crosses a border.
