What sets Indiana apart in 2026
The headline Indiana rate, a flat 2.95% in 2026 and 2.90% from 2027, is only part of what you pay. All 92 counties add their own income tax on the same income, set by the county you lived in on January 1, from 0.5% in Porter County to 3% in Randolph County.
Those county taxes are not in the figures here because they depend on where you live, and in Randolph County the 3% rate is higher than the state rate itself. Marion County (Indianapolis) charges 2.02%, about another $1,600 a year on an $80,000 salary. Allen (Fort Wayne) is 1.59%, St. Joseph (South Bend) 1.75%, Vanderburgh (Evansville) 1.25% and Hamilton (Carmel, Fishers) 1.1%. Your employer withholds the county tax alongside the state tax.
For the state tax itself, Indiana's only allowance is a $1,000 personal exemption per person ($2,000 joint), so almost the whole salary is taxed. The state takes $1,446 at $50,000 and $4,396 at $150,000, about 2.9% of gross throughout. That ranks 12th of 29 states at $50,000 and 7th from $75,000 up, before any county tax is added.
