How Louisiana taxes a paycheck

Louisiana taxes wage income at a flat 3% for 2026 — the rate that replaced its graduated 1.85%–4.25% brackets under Act 11 of the 2024 Third Extraordinary Session, with the standard deduction now CPI-indexed for the first time to $12,875 (single) / $25,750 (joint).

The 2026 Louisiana standard deduction is $12,875 for a single filer and $25,750 for a married couple filing jointly.
