Paycheck taxes in Iowa

Iowa moved to a flat 3.8% individual income tax starting tax year 2025, down from a 5.7% top rate in 2024. Iowa taxable income starts from federal taxable income, so the federal standard deduction is effectively built in (approximated here). Retirement income is fully excluded for taxpayers 55 and older, and many localities levy school-district surtaxes not included in this estimate.
