How Indiana income tax works in 2026
Indiana uses a flat income tax structure in 2026, with a top rate of 2.95%. A flat tax applies one rate to taxable income above the state's threshold, which makes withholding simpler to estimate than a graduated system.
The estimator uses a single-filer deduction of $1,000.00 and a married-filing-jointly deduction of $2,000.00. Your actual state taxable income may differ because of credits, local rules, and federal conformity.
Note: Local/county income taxes are not included.
Local taxes: Indiana counties levy local income taxes (LIT). Rates vary by county, and this calculator does not include them.
