How to increase your Indiana take-home pay
Indiana conforms to federal pre-tax deduction treatment. If you live in a high-county-tax area (Marion County at 2.02%, Lake County at 1.5%), pre-tax 401(k) contributions reduce both state and county taxable wages, compounding your savings.
- 401(k) / 403(b): Up to $23,500 pre-tax in 2026 ($31,000 ages 50–59 or 64+). Reduces both federal and most state taxable wages simultaneously.
- HSA: Up to $4,300 (self-only) or $8,550 (family) if on a qualifying HDHP. Triple tax advantage: pre-tax in, tax-free growth, tax-free medical withdrawals.
- FSA: Up to $3,300 healthcare or $5,000 dependent-care FSA. Use-it-or-lose-it, but effective at reducing immediate tax burden.
- Update your W-4: If you have significant deductions (mortgage interest, large charitable contributions), claim them on Step 4(b) of your W-4 to reduce withholding and get the benefit each pay period rather than waiting for a refund.
