How Indiana taxes a paycheck
Indiana is a flat-tax state: wage income is taxed at 3% regardless of how much you earn. There is no state standard deduction, so the headline rate is close to the real rate from the first dollar of wages.
The signature of a flat tax is visible in the table: the effective state rate barely moves between $40,000 (3%) and $150,000 (3%), where a progressive state would show a steady climb. All of the progressivity in your total tax bill comes from the federal brackets. At $75,000, an extra $1,000 of salary keeps about $674 after federal, state, and Medicare take their marginal share.
How Indiana compares with other states
On a $75,000 salary, Indiana ranks #14 of 51 among the states and D.C. for take-home pay, $2,250 a year behind the no-income-tax states and $637 ahead of the median state. The nearest state above it is Louisiana ($375 more per year); just below sits Pennsylvania, $53 behind. Rankings compare state and average local income taxes only — cost of living, housing, and sales taxes move real affordability in ways a paycheck never shows.

With no standard deduction, the headline rate is effectively the real rate from the first dollar.
