Indiana's 3.05% Flat Rate + County Taxes
Indiana keeps state income tax low at a flat 3.05% — one of the lowest flat rates in the country. The catch is that every one of Indiana's 92 counties charges its own income tax on top of that. Rates range from 0.5% in a handful of rural counties up to 2.9% in select areas. Marion County (Indianapolis) charges 2.02%, so an Indianapolis worker's combined state-plus-local rate is about 5.07%. Hamilton County (Carmel, Fishers) is 1.62%, bringing the total to 4.67%. These county taxes are withheld from your paycheck automatically based on where you live — not where you work.
Payroll in the Indianapolis Metro
Indianapolis is Indiana's economic center, with major employers like Eli Lilly, Salesforce, Anthem, and a massive logistics corridor. The $7.25/hr minimum wage matches the federal floor, but in practice most Indianapolis employers start at $12–$16/hr. Indiana does not have any mandatory paid leave or disability insurance programs, so your paycheck deductions are limited to federal tax, FICA, state flat tax, and your county tax. If you moved from a high-tax state, the total effective rate around 12–15% (federal + state + county + FICA) feels noticeably lighter.
