Illinois rules that affect a paycheck
- Illinois taxes income at one flat rate, 4.95%, with no standard deduction; the only subtraction for a single filer is a $2,925 exemption allowance in 2026.
- Unemployment insurance in Illinois is paid by employers only; Alaska, New Jersey and Pennsylvania are the states that withhold a worker share.
- Illinois guarantees a minimum wage of $15.00 an hour for workers 18 and older. Full-time at that rate is $31,200 a year, which keeps $25,849.59 after tax for a single filer.
- Illinois' state rate on general merchandise is 6.25%, before local taxes.
- No standard deduction; 2026 exemption allowance $2,925 per person ($5,850 on a joint return).
- The Illinois exemption allowance disappears once federal AGI passes $250,000 ($500,000 joint); these pages stop below that.
- Wage earners file a Illinois return as well as the federal one; for 2026 income both are generally due April 15, 2027.
