Indiana levies a flat 2.95% statewide income tax rate in 2026 (reduced from 3.00% in 2025 under Senate Enrolled Act 2) after subtracting $1,000 per exemption claimed on Form WH-4. Note: all 92 Indiana counties also levy a local county income tax (ranging from ~1% to 3%, averaging ~2.1% statewide) based on the county where you lived on January 1. On top of state deductions, every worker pays federal income tax (based on your W-4), Social Security at 6.2%, and Medicare at 1.45%. For a single worker earning $25 an hour full time, total deductions come to about 18% of gross pay.
Indiana follows the federal minimum wage of $7.25 per hour ($2.13 per hour cash wage for tipped employees).
Indiana follows the federal FLSA overtime rule: 1.5× regular hourly pay for all hours worked over 40 in a workweek. Enter your weekly overtime hours in the calculator to include them. Under the federal "no tax on overtime" rule for 2025–2028, you may be able to deduct up to $12,500 of the extra half of your overtime pay ($25,000 if married filing jointly) on your federal return. That deduction is claimed when you file, so it does not lower the withholding shown here unless you adjust your W-4.
Indiana has one of the lowest flat state income tax rates in the country (2.95% in 2026), but every Indiana county also collects a county income tax (typically between 1.0% and 3.0%, such as 2.02% in Marion County / Indianapolis). This calculator shows your exact 2.95% state tax; you can include your county rate in the main Hourly Paycheck Calculator.
It uses the official 2026 withholding formulas, so for a standard W-4 and WH-4 exemptions with no other deductions it should be within a few dollars of your actual paycheck. Your real check will be lower if you have pre-tax deductions like 401(k) contributions or health insurance premiums (those also reduce your income tax), or extra withholding on your W-4.
