Illinois has a flat income tax of 4.95% — All earnings are taxed at the same rate, regardless of total income level

Illinois' income tax rates were last changed two years ago for tax year 2021, and the tax brackets have not been changed since at least 2001.

Illinois has a flat income tax rate which applies to both single and joint filers. The Federal Income Tax, in contrast to the Illinois income tax, has multiple tax brackets with varied bracket width for single or joint filers.

How do Illinois tax brackets work?

Technically, you don't have just one "tax bracket" - you pay all of the Illinois marginal tax rates from the lowest tax bracket to the tax bracket in which you earned your last dollar. For comparison purposes, however, your Illinois tax bracket is the tax bracket in which your last earned dollar in any given tax period falls.

You can think of the bracketed income tax as a flat amount for all of the money you earned up to your highest tax bracket, plus a marginal percentage of any amount you earned over that. The chart below breaks down the Illinois tax brackets using this model:

For earnings over $0.00, you'll pay 4.95% plus $0.00
For earnings over $0.00, you'll pay 4.95% plus $0.00

Illinois Tax Deductions

When calculating your Illinois income tax, keep in mind that the Illinois state income tax brackets are only applied to your adjusted gross income (AGI) after you have made any qualifying deductions.

Qualifying deductions might include an itemized deduction, the Illinois standard deduction, exemptions for dependants, business expenses, etc.

Remember that Illinois may have very different deduction laws from the Federal Income Tax, so you may have to write a whole new list of deductions for your Illinois income tax return.

Illinois Standard Deductions & Personal Exemption Amounts


In addition to marginal tax brackets, one of the major features of the Illinois income tax is deductions. The three most common deductions encountered by taxpayers are the Illinois Standard Deduction, the Illinois Personal Exemption, and the Illinois Dependent Deduction. The current values of these deductions for tax year 2023 are as follows:

Standard Deduction (Single) Standard Deduction (MFJ) Personal Exemption Dependant Exemption
$0.00 $0.00 $2,425.00 $2,425.00

The standard deduction, which Illinois does not have, is a deduction that is available by default to all taxpayers who do not instead choose to file an itemized deduction.

The Personal Exemption, which is supported by the Illinois income tax, is an additional deduction you can take if you (and not someone else) are primarily responsible for your own living expenses. Likewise, you can take an additional dependent exemption for each qualifying dependent (like a child or family member), who you financially support.

The Federal income tax also has a standard deduction, personal exemptions, and dependant deductions, though they are different amounts than Illinois' and may have different rules.
