How Hawaii taxes income
Hawaii's 2024 reform (HB 2404) is one of the biggest state tax cuts anywhere: the standard deduction doubled and brackets widened so the 11% top rate now starts at $325k instead of $200k. Still 12 brackets — the most complex schedule in the country — and the cost of living does the real damage.
| Taxable income (single) | Rate |
|---|---|
| $0 – $9,600 | 1.4% |
| $9,600 – $14,400 | 3.2% |
| $14,400 – $19,200 | 5.5% |
| $19,200 – $24,000 | 6.4% |
| $24,000 – $36,000 | 6.8% |
| $36,000 – $48,000 | 7.2% |
| $48,000 – $125,000 | 7.6% |
| $125,000 – $175,000 | 7.9% |
| $175,000 – $225,000 | 8.25% |
| $225,000 – $275,000 | 9% |
| $275,000 – $325,000 | 10% |
| $325,000+ | 11% |
