Hawaii income tax, explained
Hawaii has one of the most finely graduated income taxes in the country — twelve brackets for 2026, from 1.4% up to 11%. The top 11% rate does not begin until $325,000 of taxable income for single filers, so most workers fall in the 6.8%–7.9% range at the margin.
Under Act 46 (2024), Hawaii is phasing in larger standard deductions and wider brackets each year through 2031; the figures here are the 2026 values, with a standard deduction of $8,000 for single filers, $16,000 for married couples filing jointly, and $12,000 for heads of household. Head-of-household uses Hawaii's official Schedule III; married-filing-separately is approximated using the single schedule.
