How tax works in Louisiana
Louisiana taxes wage income at a flat 3.00%, so your state marginal rate never changes no matter how much you earn. Combined with federal tax and FICA, a $100,000 salary nets $76,566 — an effective rate of 23.4%, 13th out of 51 jurisdictions.
Louisiana replaced its three-bracket system with a 3% flat tax for TY2025 and repealed the federal income tax deduction (HB 10, 2024 special session).
