Illinois State Income Tax Guide (2026)

Illinois levies a single flat income tax rate of 4.95% on all taxable income, offset by a personal exemption that phases out at higher incomes.

1. Illinois Flat Tax Rate

Illinois applies a single flat income tax rate of 4.95% to taxable income. Unlike progressive states, the same rate applies whether you are an entry-level worker or a high earner, which makes the calculation straightforward.

2. Deductions and Conformance

Illinois grants a personal exemption of $2,925 per filer rather than a standard deduction. Pre-tax 401(k) contributions, HSA contributions, and employer health premiums reduce your Illinois taxable income.

3. Local Taxes to Watch

Illinois grants a personal exemption ($2,925 single) that phases out entirely above $250,000 ($500,000 married).
