Idaho paycheck taxes in 2026
Idaho taxes income at a flat 5.3% after the same standard deduction as your federal return ($16,100 single, $32,200 married in 2026).
- Idaho’s flat rate fell to 5.3% under a 2025 law (House Bill 40).
- Idaho uses the federal standard deduction, so the first $16,100 of a single filer’s income (or $32,200 for a married couple) isn’t taxed.
- For 2026, Idaho no longer reduces withholding for each allowance claimed on the ID W-4.
Pre-tax deductions such as 401(k) contributions lower both your federal and Idaho taxable income, so they increase your take-home pay per dollar saved.
