How Indiana taxes your paycheck
Indiana levies a flat 3.05% state income tax on adjusted gross income (with statutory reductions scheduled to bring the rate to 2.9% by 2027), and the state has progressively trimmed this rate from 3.4% over the past decade.
Every Indiana county imposes its own Local Income Tax (LIT) ranging from about 0.5% to 3.38%—Marion County (Indianapolis) is 2.02%, Lake County 1.5%, and Pulaski County the highest at 3.38%—withheld by employers based on the worker's county of residence on January 1.
Why this matters: Indiana is the only state where every single county levies its own local income tax in addition to the state rate, and the county rate is determined by the resident's county of residence on January 1.
