Make a pay recordHow Iowa income tax affects a paycheck
Iowa uses progressive tax brackets, so the rate applied rises with annual income. Payroll annualizes each paycheck, applies the brackets below, then converts the result back to a per-period amount for the stub.
| Annual income | Rate |
|---|---|
| $0.00 – $6,210.00 | 4.40% |
| $6,210.00 – $31,050.00 | 4.82% |
| $31,050.00 and above | 5.70% |
Worked example: $25/hour in Iowa
An hourly employee earning $25.00 an hour, working 80 hours in a bi-weekly period, filing single:
| Gross pay | $2,000.00 |
| Federal income tax (2026 estimate) | −$156.15 |
| Social Security (6.2%) | −$124.00 |
| Medicare (1.45%) | −$29.00 |
| Iowa income tax (2024 table) | −$102.49 |
| Net pay | $1,588.36 |
That is 79.4% of gross pay in this estimate. Federal income tax is a 2026 estimate from IRS Publication 15-T Worksheet 1A (standard percentage method, Step 2 not checked, no other Form W-4 adjustments). Social Security is 6.2% up to the 2026 wage base of $184,500. Medicare is 1.45%, plus 0.9% Additional Medicare Tax on wages this employer pays above $200,000. State income tax uses 2024 rate tables that were not re-checked against 2026 state agencies. A bonus typed here is included in the period's wages and is not withheld at the 22% supplemental rate. This is an estimate, not payroll or tax advice.
