Idaho income tax in 2026
Idaho applies a single 5.3% rate to taxable wages after a zero-rate band, so the arithmetic is simpler than in a graduated-rate state.
| Single – taxable income | Rate | Married filing jointly | Rate |
|---|---|---|---|
| $0 – $4,810 | 0% | $0 – $9,621 | 0% |
| Over $4,811 | 5.3% | Over $9,622 | 5.3% |
- Standard deduction: $16,100 single, $32,200 married filing jointly
- Top marginal rate: 5.3%
- Local taxes: none beyond the state rate
What Idaho costs you versus Texas
Moving does not change your federal tax, so the state comparison is clean: the same $75,000 salary for a single filer leaves $58,726 in Idaho and $61,593 in Texas. That is $2,867 a year — $239 a month — in favor of Idaho.
Nine states — Alaska, Florida, Nevada, New Hampshire, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Washington, and Wyoming — charge nothing on wages, which is why they dominate "best state for take-home pay" lists.

Does Idaho tax 401(k) contributions?
Most states follow the federal treatment: traditional 401(k) deferrals are excluded from state taxable wages, so contributing lowers state tax as well as federal tax. A few states, including Pennsylvania and Colorado, treat some deferrals differently, so check your state's instructions if you contribute heavily. This calculator applies the federal exclusion everywhere.
