  • Marion county rate: 2.02%. County follows January 1 residence; the rate version follows the payroll period beginning date.
  • Annual scenario assumes identical pay and deductions all year and the selected state/county rules throughout. FICA restarts from zero; this is not a forecast of actual 2026 withholding or final tax liability.
  • Regular resident W-2 wages and a 2020-or-later W-4 only. Excludes bonuses, nonresident rules, reciprocity, exempt workers and special wage categories.

This is a general estimate for information only, not tax, legal or financial advice. Real rules have more conditions than a calculator can show, so check the official source below or a qualified professional for your situation.

How it works

Select the current rate period for payroll periods beginning October–December 2026, or the historical period for January–September. The period selection must match the beginning date. The historical Boone rate field appears only in the historical path and is required only when Boone is selected.

Departmental Notice 1 subtracts the WH-4 deduction constants from each period’s taxable wages, floors at zero, and applies 2.95% state tax plus the selected county rate. The annual exemptions are $1,000 per line 5 exemption, $1,500 each for lines 6 and 7, and $3,000 per line 8 exemption. Divide each category by pay periods and use its cents-valued deduction constant, as in the published example. County selection follows January 1 residence; October rates apply to periods beginning on or after October 1. The notice marks only Boone as changed since January.

Federal withholding follows IRS Publication 15-T Worksheet 1A for a 2020-or-later W-4. Annualize income-tax wages, apply Steps 4(a), 4(b) and the filing-status adjustment, look up the annual table, subtract Step 3 credits, divide by periods and add Step 4(c). Step 2(c) selects its own table.

FICA uses pay after deductions designated exempt from FICA. Social Security is 6.2% up to $184,500 with this employer in 2026; Medicare is 1.45%, plus 0.9% on employer-paid wages over $200,000. Enter prior year-to-date FICA wages to calculate the current check.

take-home = gross − employee deductions − federal − state − county/local − employee FICA

Enter only deductions whose tax treatment you have confirmed with payroll. This tool does not determine benefit eligibility or contribution limits. All amounts are US dollars. Calculations retain precision except Indiana’s published deduction constants and North Carolina’s required whole-dollar withholding. Display amounts round to cents; displayed rows may differ from their displayed total by a cent.

The annual scenario repeats the selected income-tax withholding and deductions for all pay periods and calculates FICA on a full year from zero. It does not blend historical state rates, use year-to-date wages as annual income, or calculate final tax liability. Regular resident wages only; special exemptions, nonresident treatment, bonuses and pre-2020 W-4 forms are outside scope.

Worked examples

Official Notice 1 example

Weekly $800, five personal exemptions, three additional dependents, one first-time dependent and two adopted dependents: deduction constants total $326.92. Taxable pay is $473.08. State withholding is $13.96; county withholding at 1% (for example, Harrison) is $4.73.

Monthly $5,000 in Marion County

With one personal exemption and no other WH-4 exemptions, the deduction constant is $83.33. On $4,916.67 taxable pay, state withholding is $145.04 and Marion county withholding is $99.32, before any requested extra withholding.

Frequently asked questions

Which county should I select after moving?
Use the Indiana county where you lived on January 1. This resident calculator does not handle out-of-state residence or reciprocity.
What happens for Boone County before October?
The October notice lists 1.71% and marks Boone as changed. It does not supply the earlier rate. Select the historical rate period and enter a beginning date before October 1, then supply the Boone rate obtained from payroll. Current-period calculations ignore the historical field, including a blank value.
Why are WH-4 and W-4 separate?
WH-4 counts determine Indiana state and county deductions. Federal W-4 uses filing status and dollar adjustments. One form does not replace the other.
Why can the annual result differ from this paycheck times pay periods?
The annual scenario recalculates Social Security and Additional Medicare over a full year. This paycheck uses your prior year-to-date wages. State and county rules are held constant at the selected date.
Why might my actual paycheck differ?
Your employer may use a different permitted withholding method or rounding convention. Check taxable wage bases, benefit deductions, withholding-form entries and local taxes against your pay statement.
