How Iowa paycheck tax works

Iowa uses a flat state income tax of about 3.8 percent on wages, and the field below is set to that rate. Social Security (6.2 percent up to the wage cap) and Medicare (1.45 percent) apply in every state. The table uses the 2026 federal standard deduction and brackets for a single filer with no 401(k) or other deductions.

Local taxes, city taxes, state disability or family leave payroll taxes and health insurance premiums can lower your check further. Always confirm with your employer or the Iowa tax agency.
