How Iowa paychecks are taxed in 2026
Iowa levies a flat 3.8% state income tax for 2026, applied after the state allowance/deduction for your filing status. This calculator applies that on top of federal withholding and Social Security / Medicare to estimate your Iowa take-home pay.
Adjust your filing status, pay frequency, and gross wage above to update the breakdown.
What this estimate doesn't include: Iowa's small personal-exemption tax credits ($40 single / $80 MFJ / $40 per dependent) are post-tax credits and are not modeled.
Estimates for general guidance only — not tax advice. This calculator approximates withholding using 2026 federal brackets, the standard deduction, and FICA. It does not account for pre-tax deductions (401(k), HSA, health premiums), additional W-4 adjustments, local taxes, or credits. Verify with a tax professional or the IRS.
