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.
