Understanding Hawaii's Payroll Taxes
Living and working in Hawaii, often referred to as "Paradise Tax," involves understanding one of the highest state income tax systems in the United States. Hawaii uses a progressive tax system with rates that can climb as high as 11% for top earners.
Major Components of Your Hawaii Paycheck
- Federal Income Tax: Progressive rates ranging from 10% to 37% based on your taxable income.
- FICA (Social Security & Medicare): A combined 7.65% (6.2% for Social Security up to the annual limit and 1.45% for Medicare).
- Hawaii State Income Tax: Hawaii has 12 tax brackets. This is significantly higher than most other states.
- Hawaii TDI (Temporary Disability Insurance): Employers in Hawaii may require employees to contribute to TDI, though many cover the full cost. This calculator focuses on the mandatory tax withholdings.
Example: $75,000 Salary in Hawaii (Single Filer)
If you earn a gross salary of $75,000 per year in Hawaii, your pay breakdown might look like this (estimates based on 2024 tax rules):
| Category | Annual Amount |
|---|---|
| Gross Pay | $75,000.00 |
| Federal Income Tax (Est) | -$8,120.00 |
| State Income Tax (HI) | -$5,185.00 |
| FICA (Social Security & Medicare) | -$5,737.50 |
| Estimated Net Pay | $55,957.50 |
How to Use This Hawaii Salary Calculator
