Indiana Paycheck Calculator (2026)

How income tax works in Indiana

Indiana’s state wage tax is a flat 2.95%, but counties add a local income tax that this page skips. A Fort Wayne check and a rural check at the same salary can differ by more than the state line alone. Use a paystub to catch the county piece.

On the defaults, $72,000 as a single filer in Indiana lands near $4,782.29 a month and $2,207.21 biweekly. Federal income tax is about $7,010.00, Indiana state wage tax is $2,094.50, and FICA is about $5,508.00.

Then open the mortgage calculator if the next question is a house payment, or house affordability if you only have income and debts.
