Indiana taxes wages at a single flat rate of 2.95%, once the personal exemption of $1,000 is covered. Federal income tax is charged on top under its own graduated bands, so the combined bill is the number that matters. This page runs one salary through both layers and shows the federal line, the Indiana line and the payroll lines separately.
