Indiana paycheck calculator 2026 – how it works
A paycheck estimate starts with gross pay for the pay period. Federal income tax withholding follows IRS rules based on Form W-4, along with FICA payroll taxes for Social Security and Medicare. Indiana state income tax is estimated using the statewide flat tax rate applied to taxable wages to provide a practical approximation of state withholding.
Examples
If gross pay increases or decreases, Indiana state withholding in this estimate generally changes proportionally. Differences may occur in actual paychecks when county income taxes, exemptions, or employer payroll adjustments are applied.
Limitations and important notes
This calculator provides an estimate of payroll withholding only. Indiana employers may withhold additional county income taxes and apply exemption-related adjustments that are not fully modeled here. Results do not represent final annual tax liability.
