How Your IN Paycheck Works
Indiana paychecks start with federal income tax withholding. Employers use IRS Publication 15-T, the employee's Form W-4, pay frequency, and taxable wages to calculate the federal withholding amount. FICA is applied separately: for 2026, Social Security withholding is 6.2% on employee wages up to the $184,500 wage base, and Medicare withholding is 1.45% on all covered wages with no wage cap. The Additional Medicare Tax adds 0.9% on wages paid above $200,000 by the employer in the calendar year. Indiana's state adjusted gross income tax rate for individuals is 2.95% for 2026, per the Indiana Department of Revenue. Indiana also has county income tax withholding: employers withhold county tax based on the employee's Indiana county of residence per Departmental Notice #1 effective January 1, 2026; county rates range from approximately 0.5% to 3.0% depending on the county. County withholding is not included in this calculator's estimates. Indiana does not have a statewide employee disability insurance or paid family leave payroll tax. Estimates assume standard 2026 withholding, single filing status, and no pre-tax deductions; actual paycheck may differ.
