How much is Idaho state income tax?

5.3% for 2026, charged on every dollar of taxable income rather than in bands. A standard deduction of $16,100 single comes off first, so the effective rate is lower — on $75,000 it works out at 3.82%.

Does Idaho have local income taxes?

No local income tax applies in Idaho, so the state figure above is the whole of it.

Is Idaho a high-tax state overall?

On income, Idaho takes 3.82% of a $75,000 salary. But the whole burden is three taxes: sales tax here is 6.03% combined, 37th of fifty, and property tax 0.5%, 45th of fifty. Both are among the lightest in the country, which is unusual.

Is this the same as what my employer withholds?

Close, not identical. Withholding follows the W-4 you filed and your state’s equivalent form, which can carry allowances, extra withholding or a second job adjustment this page does not know about. The annual tax is what settles on your return; withholding is an instalment against it.

Form ID W-4 is what sets your state withholding

It doubles as the worksheet for the Idaho child tax credit, which is why the allowance count can exceed the federal one.

What Idaho charges as well

Income tax is one of three. The other two do not come out of a paycheck, but they decide what the paycheck buys.

Sales and property tax in Idaho
Sales tax, state plus average local	6.03%	37th of fifty
Property tax on median home value	0.5%	45th of fifty

The state rate is 6% and local jurisdictions add 0.03% on average, reaching 6.03% where you shop. Property tax is among the lightest at 0.5% — about $2,000 a year on a $400,000 home. Work yours out on the property tax calculator.

Withholding is an instalment, not the bill. What the year actually settles at is on the refund calculator, and the dates it settles on are the federal tax deadlines.

What this does not include

Idaho is flat at 5.3% on taxable income above $4,811, and taxable income starts from the federal figure — the $16,100 federal standard deduction comes off first.
The rate was cut from 5.695% to 5.3% by House Bill 40 in 2025, retroactive to 1 January of that year.
