Worked example
A single filer in Hawaii earning $80,000 a year, paid every two weeks with no pre-tax deductions: federal income tax is $8,770, Hawaii income tax is $4,637 and FICA is $6,120, leaving $60,473 a year, or about $2,326 per paycheck. A married couple filing jointly on $120,000 keeps about $94,546 a year. Putting $5,000 into a traditional 401(k) would cut this single filer's federal tax to $7,670 and Hawaii tax to $4,257.
