Where every line on a Hawaii paystub comes from

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
Employer Medicare
Employer Medicare tax is 1.45% of wages with no annual wage base limit.
 Employer 1.45% No cap
Employer Social Security
Employer Social Security tax is 6.2% of taxable wages up to the 2026 wage base of $184,500.

Federal unemployment tax is an employer-paid tax. The gross FUTA rate is 6.0% on the first $7,000 of wages before any state-credit reduction adjustments.
 Employer 6% $7,000
Federal Income Tax
Federal employee withholding uses the 2026 federal wage-bracket or percentage-method rules.
 Employee Bracket or formula based No cap
Medicare
Employee Medicare withholding is 1.45% of wages with no annual wage base limit.
 Employee 1.45% No cap
Social Security

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.

Hawaii paystub law

What Hawaii law actually requires on a paystub.

Wage statement requirements

Hawaii Revised Statutes § 388-7 requires every employer to furnish an itemized statement of wages and deductions to each employee with every wage payment. The statement must show the employee's name, pay period dates, hours worked, hourly rate, gross wages, itemized deductions, and net wages. The Hawaii Department of Labor and Industrial Relations Wage Standards Division enforces violations. Paydays must be at least semi-monthly. Hawaii has unique state tax considerations including the General Excise Tax and the prepaid health-care premium that show on most stubs.

Using a Hawaii paystub for proof of income

Hawaii's exceptionally high cost of living means rental markets routinely require gross income at 2.5–3× rent or higher — Honolulu landlords often look for stable employment plus 2 years of W-2s. Tourism workers across the islands often have variable hours tied to occupancy; many tourist-zone landlords accept payroll history reports from major hotel chains (Hilton, Marriott, Hyatt) alongside individual stubs. Active-duty military stationed on Oahu produce LES statements that all Hawaii property managers accept.
