How each Hawaii line is calculated

Hawaii employee paystubs in this app automatically show a single Hawaii State Income Tax line. Hawaii unemployment contributions are employer-side and are not shown as employee deduction rows. Hawaii Temporary Disability Insurance coverage is employer-administered and may require an employer-side premium line depending on the plan used.

Line Who pays Rate Wage base
HI Employer TDI Premium
Hawaii Temporary Disability Insurance is funded through an approved employer plan or self-insured arrangement. Employers must pay at least half of the premium cost, and the exact employer share depends on the plan premium and the amount, if any, deducted from employees, so this line remains employer-plan-specific.
Employer User supplied No cap

Some state or local tax rules for this jurisdiction are still partial and may require user-entered rates or manual review. Some employer-side state taxes depend on employer size, assigned unemployment rates, or program elections. Review the line notes before relying on those totals. Some state-specific lines need additional answers before the calculator can resolve all applicable rates: EmployerProgramRatePercent, EmployeeContributionSharePercent.
