How Idaho's flat 5.3% income tax, which skips the first $4,811 of taxable income, hits your 2026 paycheck
Idaho levies a flat 5.3% state income tax for 2026, applied after the state deduction for your filing status — and the first $4,811 of taxable income above that deduction is taxed at 0%, so only what is left pays the 5.3%. This calculator applies that on top of federal withholding and Social Security / Medicare to estimate your Idaho take-home pay.
For 2026, Idaho's state standard deduction is $16,100 for single filers and $32,200 for married couples filing jointly; after that, the first $4,811 of remaining taxable income is taxed at 0% and every dollar above it at the single flat rate of 5.3% — Idaho does not run a ladder of rising rates for 2026. As a worked example, a single filer earning $60,000 pays about $2,072 in Idaho income tax (roughly 3.5% of gross) before federal tax and FICA.
What this estimate doesn't include: Local income taxes are not included. The zero-rate thresholds used here are Idaho's 2025 inflation-adjusted amounts, because the Idaho State Tax Commission had not published a 2026 rate schedule. Idaho re-indexes them each year, so the 2026 thresholds will be slightly higher and your tax slightly lower than shown. Idaho charges a $10 Permanent Building Fund tax per return, which this calculator does not include. City, county or school-district income taxes where they apply, court-ordered deductions, union dues, and anything else your specific employer withholds are not in this figure; your pay stub is the authority on those.
Estimates only, not tax advice. The section "What this estimate doesn't include" above lists what's left out; see also our terms and the corrections log.

One Idaho payroll quirk worth knowing

No city or county income tax anywhere in Idaho
Idaho has no local or municipal income taxes; only the state flat income tax of 5.3% applies.
Idaho paycheck FAQ
What is unusual about how Idaho handles payroll taxes?
Idaho retroactively cut its flat individual income tax rate to 5.3% (from 5.695%) via House Bill 40 enacted March 2025, so 2026 wages are taxed at a single 5.3% rate. In practice the 5.3% lands on taxable income rather than on gross wages: the state standard deduction comes off first, a 0% band takes the next slice, and the rate reaches only what is left.
Does Idaho have a state income tax in 2026?
Yes — though it behaves like a flat 5.3% rather than a ladder of rising rates. For 2026, a single filer's first $4,811 of taxable income — that is pay left after the state standard deduction — is taxed at 0%, and every dollar above it at 5.3%, on top of federal tax and FICA.
