A general estimate from the published rules for the year shown, not tax advice. Your own return may differ.

Uses 2026 US federal brackets and payroll tax rules, and the 2026 Indiana state rate and county rates (the example county is Marion). Sources are the IRS, the Social Security Administration and the Indiana Department of Revenue.

Indiana Paycheck Calculator

See roughly what lands in your bank account each pay period when you work or live in Indiana. It takes out federal income tax, Social Security, Medicare, Indiana state tax and your county tax.

This is an estimate worked out from published tax rules. It is not a payroll system, and your employer's figures may differ a little.

How it works

Indiana has one flat state rate on income. Each county adds its own rate on top, so you enter the rate for the county where you lived on 1 January. Both are charged on pay after pre-tax savings and after your exemptions. Each personal exemption takes off a set amount, and each dependent takes off a larger set amount.

Federal income tax uses the yearly brackets for your filing status, applied to pay after pre-tax savings and the standard deduction. Social Security is a flat percentage up to a yearly pay limit. Medicare is a flat percentage on all pay, with a little more on very high pay. Tax credits, such as for children, are not included.

The answer is the yearly pay left after all of that, divided by the number of paychecks in a year.

Worked example

With yearly pay of $65,000.00, $3,000.00 set aside before tax, and 1 exemption, the federal tax is $5,260.00. Social Security and Medicare take $4,030.00 and $942.50. Indiana state tax is $1,799.50 and county tax is $1,232.20. That leaves $1,874.45 per paycheck.

Questions

Where do I find my county rate?

The Indiana tax department publishes a table with a rate for every county, and it is revised in January and October. Use the rate for the county where you lived on 1 January. If you live out of state but work in Indiana, use the county where you work.

Why is my real paycheck different?

Employers use the federal withholding forms you filled in, health premiums, and rounding that this page does not copy. Treat this as a close guide, and check a pay stub for the exact amounts.

What are the exemptions?

On Indiana's withholding form you claim a personal exemption for yourself and others, and an extra one for each dependent. Each one lowers the pay the state and county rates are applied to.
