Louisiana Income Tax Overview
Louisiana overhauled its income tax effective 2025, reducing rates from 1.85-4.25% to three brackets and eliminating the federal income tax deduction. The new system uses personal exemptions instead of a standard deduction.
Louisiana has some of the highest combined state and local sales tax rates in the nation. The state rate is 4.45%, but local parishes add 4-7%, creating combined rates that can exceed 11% in some areas.
Louisiana does not have a state minimum wage law, so the federal minimum of $7.25/hr applies. The state has no disability insurance or paid family leave programs.
Louisiana provides a personal exemption of $4,500 for single filers ($9,000 married filing jointly) plus $1,000 per dependent in lieu of a standard deduction.
Louisiana has one of the lowest average property tax rates at approximately 0.55%. The Homestead Exemption excludes the first $7,500 of assessed value (approximately $75,000 market value) from parish taxes.
