How Your Indiana Paycheck Works
Your paycheck in the Hoosier State is affected by four types of taxes: state income tax, local income tax, federal income tax, and FICA taxes. The amount of each tax depends on various factors, such as your income level, filing status, location, and more.
First and foremost, you have to pay Indiana state income tax, which is a flat rate of 3.23% for everyone. This means that no matter how much you earn or what your filing status is, you pay the same percentage of your income to the state. Make sure to fill out your Indiana Form WH-4 properly when you start a new job or have a change in your personal or financial situation. This way, your employer is able to figure out how much state tax to withhold.
In addition to state income tax, you also have to pay local income tax depending on where you are in Indiana. These are imposed on the county level and rates for these vary from 0.5% to 2.9%. You don’t have to fill out a separate form for county taxes, as they are withheld from your paycheck along with state taxes.
The federal government also expects a cut and that's where federal income tax comes into play. This is based on your income level, filing status, and other factors. You can adjust your federal withholding by filling out Form W-4, which is federal equivalent of the state one.
There's also the FICA taxes, which are federal taxes that fund Social Security and Medicare programs. The Social Security tax rate is 6.2% and the Medicare tax rate is 1.45%, for a total of 7.65%. These taxes are applied to your gross income, which is your total income before any withholdings or taxes are taken out. If you earn more than $147,000 in 2022, you don’t have to pay Social Security tax on the excess amount. If you earn more than a separate limit, you have to pay an additional 0.9% Medicare surtax. Your employer will match your FICA taxes aside from the Medicare surtax.
Voluntary withholdings are amounts that you choose to have withheld from your pay for various purposes. Some of the most common voluntary ones are for health insurance, retirement savings, or charitable contributions.
Health insurance withholdings are for premiums that you pay to enroll in a health plan offered by your employer or a third-party provider.
Retirement savings withholdings are for contributions that you make to a retirement account such as a 401(k), IRA, or Roth IRA.
You might also have charitable contributions as donations that you make to qualified organizations such as churches, schools, or nonprofits.
These may reduce your taxable income and lower your tax liability, depending on the type and amount of the contribution. You can usually change or cancel your voluntary withholdings at any time by notifying your employer or the provider.
When you go to file your taxes at the end of the year, a state standard deduction will be available in the form of a personal exemption and varies based on your filing status.
