Louisiana Payroll Taxes at a Glance
Here's a quick reference for every tax that comes out of a Louisiana paycheck in 2026:
| Tax | Rate | Applies To | 2026 Cap |
|---|---|---|---|
| Federal Income Tax | 10% – 37% | Taxable income after standard deduction | No cap |
| Louisiana State Tax Graduated | 1.85% – 4.25% | Louisiana taxable wages | No cap |

| Medicare | 1.45% | All wages | No cap |

Louisiana uniquely allows a deduction for federal taxes paid, which lowers your state taxable income below your federal taxable income.
