Tax Summary
Hawaii Income Tax Overview
Hawaii imposes the second-highest top income tax rate in the US at 11%, applying to income above $200,000, and has a broad taxable income base.
How Hawaii state income tax works
Hawaii's top marginal income tax rate is 11.0%. Most states use graduated brackets, meaning only the income within each bracket is taxed at that rate — not your entire income. The federal calculator above shows your federal bracket breakdown; your Hawaii state liability would be calculated separately on top of that.
When planning your budget in Hawaii, it's important to factor in both federal and state income taxes alongside other major expenses like housing. A Hawaii homeowner paying property taxes at the 0.27% effective rate on a $830,000 median-priced home will owe roughly $2,241 in property taxes annually — a separate expense from income taxes.
Federal income tax brackets (2025)
Regardless of which state you live in, you owe federal income tax on your taxable income. The 2025 federal brackets for single filers are: 10% (up to $11,925), 12% ($11,926–$48,475), 22% ($48,476–$103,350), 24% ($103,351–$197,300), 32% ($197,301–$250,525), 35% ($250,526–$626,350), and 37% (above $626,350). The calculator above computes your federal obligation using these brackets plus your standard or itemized deductions.
Note: This calculator estimates federal income tax only. State income tax calculations vary significantly by state and may depend on filing status, deductions, and credits specific to Hawaii. Consult a tax professional for personalized advice.
