Hawaii charges 1.4-11% state income tax. Use the quarterly tax estimator pre-loaded with Hawaii rates.
Open Quarterly Tax Estimator →Quarterly estimated payments in Hawaii must cover both your federal and state obligations. Hawaii uses graduated rates (1.4-11%), and most states require their own quarterly payment schedule that may differ from the IRS dates. This estimator pre-loads Hawaii's tax rates so you can calculate both federal and state quarterly amounts in one place, avoiding underpayment penalties at both levels.
Hawaii uses a graduated income tax with brackets ranging from 1.4-11%. Lower income is taxed at lower rates, with the 11% top rate applying only to income in the highest bracket. This progressive structure means your effective state tax rate is always lower than the top marginal rate. Hawaii does not have local income taxes, so the state graduated rate is the total state-level income tax burden.
