Indiana Withholding — Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Indiana income tax rate for 2026?

Indiana's state income tax rate is 2.95% for 2026, reduced from 3.05% in 2025 as part of Indiana's phased rate reduction plan. This is the state rate only — county income tax (COIT) also applies.

What is the Indiana WH-4 exemption value?

Each personal exemption claimed on Line 5 of the Indiana WH-4 reduces the employee's annualized wages by $1,000. An employee claiming 3 exemptions would reduce their annual taxable income by $3,000 before the 2.95% rate is applied.

What is Indiana county income tax (COIT)?

Indiana requires employers to withhold county income tax (COIT) based on the employee's county of residence — not the work location. County rates range from roughly 0.5% to 3.85%. Withhold Right calculates the state portion only. Look up the county rate at the Indiana Department of Revenue website.

Does Indiana use the federal W-4?

No. Indiana requires its own WH-4 form (Withholding Exemption and County Status Certificate). The WH-4 also captures the employee's county of residence for COIT purposes.
