How much does Hawaii take out for taxes? On a $60,000 salary paid every two weeks (single, standard W-4), Hawaii takes $128.21 of each $2,307.69 paycheck - 5.6% of pay, including Hawaii TDI (temporary disability insurance). With federal income tax ($193.08) and Social Security and Medicare ($176.54), $497.83 comes out in all - 21.6% - and you keep $1,809.86.
= $904.93 a week · $3,921.38 a month · $47,056.54 a year
Gross pay$2,307.69$60,000.00
Your pay before anything is taken out: yearly pay divided by the 26 paychecks in a year (hourly pay is a week's pay × 52, spread the same way).
Federal income tax · withheld−$193.08−$5,020.00
Worked out from your pay and your Form W-4 with the IRS percentage method (Worksheet 1A): yearly pay, minus the allowance for your filing status, into the 2026 annual table, minus W-4 credits, divided by paychecks. Each line, for this paycheck:
| Pay subject to income tax, for the year · $2,307.69 × 26 paychecks | $60,000.00 |
| Minus the IRS withholding allowance · Pub 15-T Worksheet 1A, line 1g | −$8,600.00 |
| Adjusted yearly wage | $51,400.00 |
| Tax from the IRS yearly table · standard table | $5,020.00 |
| Federal income tax per paycheck · divided by 26 | $193.08 |

What comes out of a Hawaii paycheck
- Federal income tax withholding - worked out from your pay and your Form W-4, using the IRS tables for 2026.
- Social Security - 6.2% of your pay, up to $184,500 of pay in 2026. Above that, it stops for the rest of the year.
- Medicare - 1.45% of all your pay, plus 0.9% on pay above $200,000 in the year.
A Hawaii paycheck usually has two state lines:
- Hawaii income tax. Employers follow the Department of Taxation's 2026 withholding tables. Using the annual method, your pay subject to income tax for this paycheck is turned into a yearly amount. A traditional 401(k) or pre-tax health plan that lowers your federal taxable pay lowers it here too. Then $1,144 comes off for each allowance on your Form HW-4, and an extra lump sum allowance of $4,350 comes off for everyone. The rest goes through the Single or Married table, at rates from 1.4% to 7.9%. The yearly tax is then divided by your number of paychecks, and any extra amount from line 5 of your HW-4 is added.
- TDI (temporary disability insurance). Hawaii requires employers to cover workers for time off from an injury or illness that isn't work related. Your employer can take up to half the cost from your pay, but never more than 0.5% of your weekly wages, and never more than $7.50 a week in 2026. We show that top amount; your employer may charge less or nothing.
This calculator has no local income tax line for Hawaii.
What's different about Hawaii
Many tax rates, low starting points
The 2026 tables have eight rows, starting at 1.4% and ending at 7.9%. The Married table's rows start at twice the Single ones. On the Single table, the 7.9% row starts at $125,000 of yearly taxable pay; on the Married table, at $250,000. Paid twice a month, the Single table reaches 5.5% at $600 of taxable pay each paycheck.
Your HW-4
Form HW-4 is the Hawaii version of the W-4, and Hawaii uses its own form, not your federal one. Line 3 asks for Single, Married, or "Married, but withhold at higher Single rate", which uses the Single table. Line 4 is your number of allowances from the worksheet: one for yourself, and more for a spouse, dependents and some other items. Line 5 is any extra amount per paycheck. The HW-4 has no "exempt" choice. If you give your employer no HW-4, it must withhold as if you were single with no allowances. If you claim more than 10 allowances, your employer may send a copy of your HW-4 to the Department of Taxation.
TDI: what you pay and what you get
The $7.50 weekly limit matches 0.5% of the $1,500.21 maximum weekly wage base, so pay above that doesn't raise your share. That comes to about $32.50 a month at most. TDI pays 58% of your average weekly wages, up to $871 a week, from the eighth day you can't work, for up to 26 weeks. To qualify you need at least 14 weeks of Hawaii work in the past year, each with 20 or more hours and at least $400 in pay.
Health insurance through work
Under Hawaii's Prepaid Health Care law, employers must offer health coverage to employees who work at least 20 hours a week and earn at least $1,387 a month. Your share of the cost can be no more than 1.5% of your monthly pay, or half the premium if that is lower.
Paydays and your last paycheck
Hawaii employers must pay wages at least twice each calendar month, on paydays set in advance, and wages are due within 7 days after the pay period ends. If you are let go, your final wages are due at that time or by the next working day. If you quit, they are due by the next regular payday, or when you leave if you gave one pay period's notice. If you believe you were not paid all you earned, you can file a complaint with the Wage Standards Division.

What changed for 2026
Hawaii has new withholding tables for wages paid from January 1, 2026.
- New federal withholding tables. The IRS updated Publication 15-T for 2026, including changes from the 2025 tax law. The standard deduction is $16,100 single, $32,200 married filing jointly, and $24,150 head of household.
- Social Security wage base: $184,500 (up from $176,100). If you earn more, Social Security stops later in the year.
- Tips and overtime deductions for 2025–2028 - see below.
- New tables. The Department of Taxation adopted new tables for tax years after 2025, with rates from 1.4% to 7.9%, a $1,144 allowance and a $4,350 lump sum allowance.
- Minimum wage: $16.00 from January 1, 2026, with a tip credit of up to $1.25.
- TDI: the most you can be charged is $7.50 a week, on a maximum weekly wage base of $1,500.21. The top weekly benefit is $871.
Why your paycheck might differ from this
- Your W-4. Credits for children (Step 3), a checked Step 2 box, or extra withholding (Step 4c) change the federal amount a lot. Open "Tips, 401(k), health insurance and W-4 details" above to enter them.
- Benefits taken before tax. Health insurance through work usually lowers income tax and Social Security and Medicare. A traditional 401(k) lowers income tax only.
- Rounding. Payroll software may round each step, so a few cents of difference is normal.
Tips and overtime in 2026
New federal deductions apply for 2025 through 2028: up to $25,000 for qualified tips, and up to $12,500 ($25,000 for joint filers) for the extra "half" of time-and-a-half overtime. Both phase out above $150,000 of income ($300,000 joint).
These are deductions on your tax return. Your employer still takes Social Security and Medicare out of tips and overtime, and still withholds income tax unless you tell it otherwise. If you expect to claim them, you can put the expected amount in Step 4(b) of your W-4 (and in the Step 4(b) box above) so less income tax is withheld during the year.
