High paying tech and IT jobs in Indiana

Every tech and IT occupation below is ranked by its median annual wage in Indiana. Read the percentile range, not just the median: the gap between the 10th and 90th inside a single tech and IT job is usually wider than the gap between two different ones, so where you land in a field matters more than which field you pick.

Cost of living: prices in Indiana run 6.7% below the national average (2024), so a Indiana salary is worth about 1.07× its face value in national terms. That scales every wage here by the same factor — it changes what the numbers mean, not their order. To see where a job pays a real premium, use jobs that pay more in Indiana.
