Idaho withholds 5.3% of annualized wages above $15,000 (single/head of household) or $30,000 (married). This calculator does not yet account for the Idaho Child Tax Credit withholding allowance ($205/child through 2025) — its 2026 status depends on pending legislation (SB 1450) we could not confirm passed, so it's omitted rather than guessed. If you claim qualifying children on your ID W-4, actual withholding may be slightly lower than shown here.

Idaho paycheck FAQs

Is Idaho's income tax really flat?

Yes — since 2025, Idaho applies a single 5.3% rate to all taxable income above the exemption threshold, replacing its old multi-bracket system.

What is the Idaho exemption threshold?

It's the amount of annualized wages exempt from withholding before the 5.3% rate applies: $15,000 for single filers and heads of household, $30,000 for married couples filing jointly in 2026.

Does this calculator include the Idaho Child Tax Credit?

Not yet. Idaho offers a withholding allowance for qualifying children, but its status for 2026 depends on pending state legislation we couldn't confirm had passed at the time this was built. If you claim children on your Idaho W-4, your actual withholding may be a bit lower than shown here — we'd rather flag that than guess.
