How Hawaii taxes your paycheck in 2026
Hawaii has 12 income tax brackets, from 1.4% to 11%, and is in the middle of a multi-year plan to lower taxes for working families.
- Hawaii's 2024 tax law is widening brackets and raising the standard deduction in steps through 2031, so middle-income workers pay less each year.
- The standard deduction is $4,400 ($8,800 for couples), plus a $1,144 personal exemption per person.
- Hawaii also requires Temporary Disability Insurance; employers may deduct up to 0.5% of wages (to a weekly maximum), which this estimate doesn't include.
