Hawaii Tax Overview
Hawaii has 12 income tax brackets with a top rate of 11%, one of the highest state income tax rates in the nation. The brackets are relatively narrow, so most middle-income earners pay 8.25%.
Hawaii's Temporary Disability Insurance (TDI) program is one of the oldest in the nation, established in 1969. Employees contribute approximately 0.5% of covered wages up to the wage cap.
Hawaii uses a General Excise Tax (GET) instead of a traditional sales tax. While the base rate is 4% (4.5% on Oahu), it applies to virtually all business transactions including services, making the effective tax burden broader than a typical sales tax.
Hawaii has the lowest average effective property tax rate in the nation at approximately 0.32%, reflecting high property values and generous homeowner exemptions.
The minimum wage of $14.25/hr is set to increase to $16.00/hr by 2028. Hawaii has an estate tax with its own exemption threshold of approximately $5.49 million.
