How Hawaii taxes your paycheck in 2026
Hawaii withholds on eight brackets from 1.4% to 7.9%: for a single employee the 2026 withholding table charges 1.4% on the first $9,600 of taxable wages, rising through 3.2%, 5.5%, 6.4%, 6.8%, 7.2% and 7.6% to 7.9% above $125,000 (the married table doubles each band). Every employee first subtracts an extra lump-sum allowance of $4,350 plus $1,144 for each allowance claimed on Form HW-4. The withholding table stops at 7.9%, below the 11% top rate on the tax return. Hawaii has no county or city income taxes.
Temporary Disability Insurance: your employer may deduct up to half the premium, capped at 0.5% of wages and $7.50 a week ($390 a year); many employers charge less or nothing. Under the Prepaid Health Care Act the employer may also take up to 1.5% of wages toward your health plan premium, which varies by plan and is not modeled here. Unemployment insurance is employer-paid.
What changed in 2026
Phase two of Act 46 (2024) takes effect: the 2026 withholding brackets are wider and the lump-sum allowance is higher than in 2025, so most paychecks show less Hawaii tax withheld. Further yearly cuts are scheduled through 2031. The 2026 TDI maximum weekly wage base is $1,500.21, which caps the employee deduction at $7.50 a week.
Federal taxes on every Hawaii paycheck
Federal income tax is withheld with the IRS Publication 15-T percentage method based on your Form W-4: filing status, the Step 2 checkbox for a second job, dependent credits and any extra withholding. Social Security takes 6.2% of wages up to $184,500 in 2026, and Medicare 1.45% with no cap (plus 0.9% on wages over $200,000). Pre-tax 401(k) contributions lower your federal and Hawaii income tax; health premiums and HSA or FSA contributions under a cafeteria plan also lower Social Security and Medicare.
