Taxes on a Hawaii paycheck
Hawaii withholds 1.4% to 7.9% of wages after $1,144 per HW-4 allowance and a $4,350 lump-sum allowance. Employees may also pay up to 0.5% of wages for temporary disability insurance. Your paycheck also has federal income tax, withheld with the 2026 IRS tables and your Form W-4, plus Social Security and Medicare.
How Hawaii withholding is figured
- Your employer annualizes your wages, subtracts $1,144 for each allowance on Form HW-4 and a $4,350 lump-sum allowance, and applies the withholding rates for single people (including heads of household) or married people, 1.4% to 7.9%.
- HW-4 allowances: 1 for you, 1 if you have one job (and your spouse does not work), 1 for a spouse not claiming their own, 1 for each person 65 or older, 1 per dependent and 1 for head of household.
- TDI: employers may withhold half the premium, but no more than 0.5% of weekly wages and $7.50 a week in 2026. Employers may also withhold up to 1.5% of wages toward health insurance (Prepaid Health Care), which is not included.
