Indiana Income Tax Calculator
Understanding Indiana Taxes (2024)
Indiana features a simple flat tax structure for state income tax, but also has county-level income taxes. This calculator helps estimate your take-home pay by considering state, federal, and FICA taxes.

County Income Taxes
Most Indiana counties impose an additional local income tax, ranging from 0.5% to 3.38% depending on your county of residence. These county tax rates are set annually by county councils.
Note: This calculator provides an estimate of state-level taxes only. County taxes would need to be calculated separately based on your specific location.
Federal Income Tax
Your federal income tax is calculated based on federal tax brackets, your filing status, deductions (standard or itemized), and allowances claimed on your W-4 form. Pre-tax deductions like 401(k) or HSA contributions reduce your federal taxable income.

FICA taxes fund Social Security and Medicare. These are typically withheld by employers.
- Social Security: 6.2% on income up to the annual limit ($168,600 for 2024).
