How Idaho taxes your paycheck

Idaho taxes income at a flat 5.3%, after a standard deduction of $16,100 for single filers and $32,200 for married couples filing jointly. That is on top of federal income tax, Social Security (6.2% up to $184,500 of wages in 2026) and Medicare (1.45%, plus 0.9% on wages above $200,000), which are the same in every state.

Local taxes: Idaho has no local income taxes.

Worked example

A single filer in Idaho earning $80,000 a year, paid every two weeks with no pre-tax deductions: federal income tax is $8,770, Idaho income tax is $3,132 and FICA is $6,120, leaving $61,978 a year, or about $2,384 per paycheck. A married couple filing jointly on $120,000 keeps about $96,637 a year. Putting $5,000 into a traditional 401(k) would cut this single filer's federal tax to $7,670 and Idaho tax to $2,867.

What this estimate includes

taxable income = salary − pre-tax deductions − standard deduction
federal tax = 2026 federal brackets (standard deduction $16,100 single / $32,200 married)
Idaho tax = 5.3% × state taxable income
FICA = 6.2% Social Security (to $184,500) + 1.45% Medicare (+0.9% over $200,000)
per paycheck = (salary − all taxes − pre-tax deductions) ÷ pay periods

Idaho starts from federal taxable income, so the federal standard deduction applies. Local taxes and state payroll programs mentioned above are not included, and your actual withholding also depends on your W-4 and any state withholding certificate. State figures are the 2026 rates and brackets published by Idaho, as compiled by the Tax Foundation.
