Idaho uses a flat 5.8% income tax rate, applied to federal AGI with a standard deduction matching federal amounts.
Idaho applies a single flat income tax rate of 5.8% to taxable income. Unlike progressive states, the same rate applies whether you are an entry-level worker or a high earner, which makes the calculation straightforward.
For 2026, the Idaho standard deduction is $16,100 for single filers and $32,200 for married couples filing jointly. Pre-tax 401(k) contributions, HSA contributions, and employer health premiums reduce your Idaho taxable income.
