How Idaho taxes your paycheck
Idaho taxes income above a small 0% first slice at a flat 5.3%, the rate set by HB 40 (2025) and unchanged for 2026. H 559 (2026) updated Idaho's IRC conformity retroactive to January 1, 2025, so Idaho uses the federal OBBBA standard deduction ($16,100 / $32,200 / $24,150 for 2026). The Idaho child tax credit expired after 2025, and the Tax Commission revised its 2026 withholding tables on July 31, 2026 to reflect that. The 0% slice is indexed each year; the 2026 indexed amount was not found, so the 2025 amounts ($4,811 single, $9,622 joint) are encoded.

What this calculator does not include
The 0% slice uses 2025 amounts (the 2026 indexed figure is slightly higher), and head-of-household filers are assumed to use the joint brackets. Ignores the $10 permanent building fund tax, the grocery credit, the child tax credit and Idaho additions/subtractions. The calculator also leaves out dependents, tax credits, additional withholding on your W-4 and non-wage income. Your employer's withholding can differ from your final tax bill.
