Net pay in Idaho = gross salary minus federal withholdings minus Idaho income tax. Federal (tax year 2026, Rev. Proc. 2025-32): income tax on gross minus the standard deduction ($16,100 single / $32,200 married) run through the seven brackets (10%–37%); Social Security is 6.2% up to $184,500; Medicare is 1.45% plus 0.9% over $200,000 (single) / $250,000 (married). Idaho charges a flat 5.3% and conforms to federal taxable income, so it uses the federal standard deduction ($16,100 / $32,200). Worked example — $60,000, single: federal income tax $5,020.00, Social Security $3,720.00, Medicare $870.00, Idaho income tax $2,326.70 ((60,000 − 16,100) × 5.3%); net $48,063.30 per year, about $1,848.59 per biweekly paycheck. Pre-tax deductions and credits are not modeled.

A flat rate, federally aligned
Idaho joined the flat-tax states and has lowered the rate step by step to 5.3%. Because it
conforms to federal taxable income, the deduction that shelters your first dollars is the same
federal standard deduction — no separate Idaho deduction schedule to track. On $60,000 single, the
state tax is about $2,327. Idaho’s rate is higher than Arizona’s or Colorado’s, so the state slice
is a bit larger; compare a no-tax neighbor like
Wyoming to see the gap.
Simple withholding
One flat rate on a federal base means Idaho withholding is easy to anticipate: no bracket to cross,
no local income tax to add. The main variables are your filing status and any pre-tax benefits you
contribute, which lower the federal base (and therefore the Idaho base too).
Limits
Covers federal income tax, FICA, and the Idaho flat rate using 2026 figures. It excludes pre-tax
deductions, tax credits, and W-4 fine-tuning. Check your refund with the
tax refund calculator; the flexible
paycheck calculator handles any state.

Frequently asked questions
What is the Idaho state income tax rate?
Idaho uses a single flat rate of 5.3% for 2026. It replaced the old graduated brackets with a flat tax and has trimmed the rate over the last few years. The 5.3% applies to your Idaho taxable income, which conforms to federal taxable income.
How much is withheld from a $60,000 paycheck in Idaho?
For a single filer in 2026: about $5,020 federal income tax, $3,720 Social Security, $870 Medicare, and roughly $2,327 Idaho income tax — leaving about $48,063 a year, or $1,849 per biweekly check, before any 401(k) or insurance.
Does Idaho conform to the federal standard deduction?
Yes. Idaho starts from federal taxable income, so you effectively get the federal standard deduction ($16,100 single / $32,200 married for 2026) before the 5.3% flat rate is applied.
Which tax year does this use?
Tax year 2026: the IRS federal figures from Rev. Proc. 2025-32, the SSA $184,500 wage base, and Idaho's 5.3% flat rate on federal taxable income.
