How federal and Indiana tax work
Every US paycheck starts with the same federal layer: a $16,100 standard deduction, then these 2026 brackets for a single filer.
| Taxable income | Rate |
|---|---|
| $0 – $12,400 | 10% |
| $12,400 – $50,400 | 12% |
| $50,400 – $105,700 | 22% |
| $105,700 – $201,775 | 24% |
| $201,775 – $256,225 | 32% |
| $256,225 – $640,600 | 35% |
| $640,600 and above | 37% |
On top of federal tax, FICA withholds 6.2% for Social Security on wages up to $184,500, plus 1.45% for Medicare on every dollar (an extra 0.9% above $200,000).
Indiana then charges a flat 2.95% after a $1,000 deduction.
What this estimate simplifies
A flat 2.95%. Every Indiana county also levies its own income tax (commonly 0.5–3%), not modelled here.
Every figure assumes a single filer with no dependents taking the standard deduction, with no other income. See Aftertax's European methodology for the same principle applied across the site.

Common questions
Is this my exact take-home pay in Indiana?
No. It is an estimate for comparison, based on 2026 federal and Indiana state tax rules for a single filer with no dependents taking the standard deduction. It does not account for your filing status, credits specific to you, local/city income tax, or income other than salary. Treat it as a well-informed ballpark, not a paycheck.
What does the Indiana figure include?
Federal income tax, employee-side FICA (Social Security and Medicare), and Indiana's own income tax: a flat 2.95% after a $1,000 deduction. A flat 2.95%. Every Indiana county also levies its own income tax (commonly 0.5–3%), not modelled here.
What is FICA and why is it separate from federal income tax?
FICA is the payroll tax that funds Social Security and Medicare: 6.2% on wages up to $184,500 a year for Social Security, plus 1.45% on all wages for Medicare (and an extra 0.9% above $200,000). It's withheld automatically, separately from the federal income tax shown on your W-2.
Why might my real Indiana take-home pay be different?
Common reasons: you are married or have children; you itemize deductions instead of taking the standard deduction; you contribute to a 401(k) or HSA, which lowers taxable income; you live in a city with its own local income tax (not modelled here); or part of your pay is a bonus taxed on a different basis. Always confirm important numbers with a tax professional.
