How much is taken out of a paycheck in Idaho?
Idaho takes federal income tax, a flat 5.3% state income tax, and 7.65% FICA. There's no local income tax. A single filer earning $60,000 in 2026 keeps about $48,063 a year, roughly a 19.9% effective rate, of which Idaho state tax is about $2,327. The flat rate keeps the math simple compared with graduated-tax states.
What is Idaho's income tax rate for 2026?
Idaho has a flat 5.3% individual income tax for 2026, the same rate for every filer. It was cut from 5.695% under House Bill 40, signed in 2025. Some calculators still show the old 5.8% or 5.695% rate, which overstates your Idaho tax. This page uses the current 5.3%.
What is Idaho's standard deduction for 2026?
Idaho conforms to the federal standard deduction, which House Bill 559 confirmed in 2026, so it's $16,100 for a single filer and $32,200 for married filing jointly, the same as the federal figures. That's far above the old $6,000-ish amount some outdated calculators still use, and it lowers your Idaho tax.
