How This Calculator Works
On a $75,000 salary paid every two weeks, each Iowa paycheck starts at $2,885. About $295 goes to federal income tax, $221 to Social Security and Medicare and $85 to Iowa income tax, leaving about $2,284 before any 401(k), insurance or other deductions.
That state withholding is 36th of 51, in the bottom third, $15 less than the typical state per paycheck ($398 over a year).
Among neighboring states, South Dakota leaves the most: about $2,369 per paycheck on the same salary, $85 more than Iowa. Where you pay income tax depends mainly on where you live and work, so check the rules before moving across a state line.
Many school districts add a surtax figured as a percentage of your Iowa income tax. Enter your local rate in the calculator if it applies to you.
A real Iowa pay stub can differ a little from these figures, because the estimate spreads the year's tax evenly across your paychecks instead of using your employer's withholding tables.
