Take-home pay in Indiana
Estimate what a salary in Indiana (IN) becomes after federal tax, ≈3.0% effective state income tax estimate, FICA, typical benefits, and optional commute costs.
Indiana taxes wages at a relatively modest state rate in this model (~3.05% effective). Counties often add their own income tax on top—StubRate does not simulate every county, so real stubs can be a bit heavier.
Indianapolis logistics and healthcare, Fort Wayne manufacturing, and Chicago-adjacent northwest Indiana jobs all start here, then you adjust for county and commute.
Sample: $85,000 single filer in Indiana → about $5,106/mo net (72.1% stub rate) and $4,929/mo after a modest hybrid commute and lunches. Assumptions: 5% 401(k), $140/month health, three office days, 12 miles each way.

Income tax in Indiana
Think of StubRate’s Indiana number as state-level only. County tax can add roughly another percent depending on where you live. Confirm on a paystub or with payroll.
If you live in Indiana and work in Illinois or Ohio, local rules can split withholding. This page assumes Indiana is the tax home.
Every U.S. W-2 wage still faces federal income tax and FICA (Social Security plus Medicare). Indiana’s difference is the state line—and any local wage tax if your city charges one.

Living and commuting in Indiana
Indianapolis is car-oriented with cheaper parking than Chicago. South Bend and Gary-area workers may commute across the Illinois line. Fort Wayne drives are usually shorter.
Gas is the typical job cost, not a $300 garage. Five office days still matter if the plant is 30 miles out.
Common job markets on this page: Indianapolis, Fort Wayne, Evansville, South Bend. Housing and office days change true stub rate more than a small difference in the state tax shortcut.
Compare two offers if one job is in Indiana and the other is elsewhere—or if commute days differ.

No. It is an educational estimate for comparing offers. It does not file a return, model every local tax, or replace a payroll sample or a tax professional.
