Hawaii paycheck basics
Hawaii uses a progressive income tax with rates that rise with income, topping out at 11.00% for the highest bracket.
On top of federal and state income tax, every paycheck in Hawaii also has FICA withheld: 6.2% for Social Security (up to the annual wage base) and 1.45% for Medicare. Your employer withholds all of this automatically, so the number on your pay stub is already your true take-home pay.
Frequently asked questions
Does Hawaii have a state income tax?+
Yes. Hawaii has a progressive state income tax, which is withheld from your paycheck alongside federal tax and FICA.
What's the difference between gross pay and net pay?+
Gross pay is your total earnings before any taxes or deductions. Net pay (take-home pay) is what's left after federal tax, state tax, FICA, and any pre-tax deductions like 401(k) contributions or health insurance premiums.
How often should I check my withholding?+
It's worth reviewing your W-4 withholding whenever your income, filing status, or number of dependents changes — and at least once a year — to avoid a large tax bill or overpaying throughout the year.
