Hawaii Tax Overview for 1099 Workers
Hawaii has the most brackets of any state — 12 — with rates from 1.4% up to 11% on income above $325,000. For middle earners, Hawaii's tax burden is among the highest in the nation. A single filer earning $80,000 hits the 7.6-7.9% range, which is higher than most states. Hawaii's high cost of living — particularly housing — compounds the tax burden. The standard deduction is $4,400 for single filers, lower than both the federal amount and most states, meaning more income is exposed to state tax. Hawaii has no local city income taxes. One small offset: Hawaii has no SDI (state disability insurance) withholding that employees pay. Compared to neighboring states — there are none, Hawaii is an island — it ranks among the top 5 highest-taxed states for middle-income earners nationally.
