Formula used

Indiana paycheck stack

Indiana applies its own brackets on income above the state standard deduction. Indiana's flat rate stepped down to 2.95% for 2025 (from 3.05%) under a multi-year phase-down. The catch: every IN county adds its own income tax, typically 1.5%–2.9% — Marion County (Indianapolis) is ~2.02%. Effective combined rate is usually 4.5%–5.8%.

County tax is the real number

Indiana's 2.95% state rate looks tiny, but all 92 counties levy a local income tax. The combined state+county burden for most Hoosiers lands between 4.5% and 5.8% — closer to Ohio than to a no-tax state.

Indy vs. Chicago arbitrage

An $85K salary in Indianapolis (combined ~4.97% state+county) vs. Chicago (IL 4.95% flat) is nearly a wash on income tax — but Indiana's ~30% lower housing costs do the real work.

The phase-down schedule

IN legislation steps the rate down 0.05% per year through 2027, contingent on revenue triggers. 2.95% (2025) → 2.9% (2026) → 2.85% (2027) if triggers hold.

Living in the five boroughs changes the answer — New York City take-home pay after city tax adds the city resident tax on top of state withholding.
