    Indiana income tax in 2026

    Indiana taxes income at a flat 2.95%. Each personal exemption reduces taxable income by $1,000.

    What makes Indiana different

    Indiana’s state rate is low at 2.95%, but every Indiana county adds its own income tax, so the true combined rate for most workers is roughly 4% to 6%. County tax is based on where you live on January 1. Indiana has no standard deduction, only small personal exemptions.

    • Indiana’s flat rate fell to 2.95% on January 1, 2026, and is scheduled to drop to 2.9% in 2027.
    • Indiana has no standard deduction; each filer gets a $1,000 personal exemption.
    • Every Indiana county levies a county income tax, typically 1%–3% of income (for example about 2.02% in Marion County/Indianapolis). It is withheld from your paycheck but not included here.
