What is different about paychecks in Indiana?
The county tax is the part people forget. In Marion County, a single filer on $60,000 pays $1,740.50 of state tax and another $1,191.80 of county tax, 4.97% in all on pay above the exemption.
Your county for the whole year is the one you lived in on January 1. If you move in March, your new county’s rate starts the next year.
Counties can change their rate on January 1 or October 1. When a rate changes on October 1, that year’s return charges three quarters of the old rate and one quarter of the new one. Boone County raised its rate on October 1, 2026, so its 2026 rate works out at 1.7025%.
Indiana has been lowering its rate in small steps. 2.95% is the rate for 2026, and the state has said it falls again in 2027.

What does this calculator leave out in Indiana?
- The extra exemptions for dependents and children, and for people who are 65 or older or blind.
- The renter’s deduction, Indiana’s earned income credit and other deductions and credits.
- The county tax rules for people who live outside Indiana but work there, and the credit for local tax paid to another state.
- Dependents, and credits such as the child tax credit.
- One job for the whole calendar year, with the same pay every paycheck, no bonus and no overtime.
- A married couple filing jointly is one earner: the whole household income is this pay.
- The year’s tax is divided evenly across your paychecks. Your employer withholds from each paycheck using your W-4 and the IRS tables, so a paycheck can differ a little.
