Peoria Standard

Peoria County residents will pay an additional $57,229,250 in state income taxes this year, according to an analysis by Local Government Information Services (LGIS).

LGIS combined Illinois Department of Revenue data combined with a forecast by Senate Democrats to estimate how much additional income tax will be paid in each Illinois zip code.

The following Peoria County communities will pay the most: Peoria ($ $35,750,546.95 total), Dunlap ($6,778,246/$1,535 per person), Chillicothe ($3,189,783/$618 per person) and Peoria Heights ($2,145,153/$731 per person). 

Retroactive to July 1, the higher rate -- now 4.95 percent, up from 3.75 percent -- will be withheld from employee paychecks over the last six months of 2017.

Before the hike, someone earning $50,000 paid $72 in state income tax per paycheck. That person will now pay $95, or an additional $600 per year.

Senate Democrats estimate the tax hike will siphon $4.453 billion more this year from individual taxpayers. Businesses will pay another $1 billion.
