How Iowa taxes income
Iowa taxes income at a single flat rate of 3.8%, so your effective state rate does not change as you earn more.
Some Iowa school districts levy a surtax on state income tax, which this calculator does not include.
What this does not include
- Local or city income tax, which Iowa allows
- Dependants, children, and credits that have to be claimed on a return
- Post-tax deductions, such as health insurance premiums
- Anything on a W-4 beyond filing status
- Head of household and married filing separately, which are not modelled
