Iowa Paycheck Taxes

Iowa withholds state income tax using its 2026 withholding method (flat (transitional)), in addition to federal income tax, Social Security, and Medicare.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Iowa have state income tax?

Yes. Iowa is in the middle of a multi-year transition to a flat income tax, and the calculator uses the applicable 2026 rate based on the exemption amount and marital status you claim on Iowa's W-4.

What taxes come out of an Iowa paycheck?

Federal income tax, Social Security, Medicare, and Iowa state income tax. Iowa has no additional statewide employee payroll tax and no local income tax.

Does my spouse's income affect Iowa withholding?

It can. If you're married filing jointly, Iowa's withholding worksheet asks whether your spouse also has earned income, which changes the calculation — the State Taxes tab includes this as a separate option.
