The assumptions behind the estimate
Assumes you filed Form ID W-4 with the same filing status as your federal W-4 (head of household uses the single table, as Idaho instructs), with no children and no additional withholding. Idaho gives no allowance for yourself or your spouse: ID W-4 allowances were for children, and in the tables revised in July 2026 they no longer change the withholding.
What is not included
Idaho has no local wage taxes and no state payroll deductions paid by employees.
Frequently asked questions
How much tax is taken out of a paycheck in Idaho?
At $20 an hour and 40 hours a week, a biweekly paycheck of $1,600.00 has $108.15 of federal income tax, $122.40 of Social Security and Medicare and $52.00 of state taxes withheld. You take home $1,317.45, or 82.3%. This is an estimate for a single filer with one job and no deductions.
Does Idaho have a state income tax on wages?
Yes. This is Idaho state income tax.
Are there city or county taxes in Idaho?
We found no local taxes withheld from employee paychecks in Idaho.
Is overtime taxed more?
There is no special rate for overtime: it is added to your pay for the period and withholding is figured on the total, which is why the check grows less than you expect. From 2025 through 2028 you can deduct from federal income tax the extra half of your overtime (up to $12,500; $25,000 if married) if your income is under $150,000; it only lowers each paycheck's withholding if you entered it on your W-4.
How accurate is this paycheck calculator?
It uses the official 2026 withholding rules from the IRS and Idaho. It is still an estimate: your employer knows your W-4, your deductions and your year-to-date earnings. It is not tax or legal advice.
