How Idaho paychecks are calculated
Idaho withholding follows EPB00744 on taxable wages after pre-tax deferrals — 5.3% on income above $16,100 (single or head of household) or $32,200 (married filing jointly). Idaho’s child tax credit withholding allowance table expired in 2026, so this model does not subtract per-child amounts before the rate runs.
On $75,000 single with zero allowances, Idaho withholding wages are $75,000 and state tax is $3,121.70 — about $120.07 per bi-weekly check on the state line alone.
Idaho has no county or city earned-income tax on ordinary W-2 wages. Once you account for federal, FICA, and the state line, you have the full picture for a typical private-sector paycheck in Boise, Meridian, or Idaho Falls.
Idaho vs Utah and Montana
Border comparisons matter when you commute across state lines. At $75,000 single, Idaho withholding is $3,121.70 here versus $3,337.50 in Utah and $2,877.10 in Montana — take-home $58,471 in Idaho in this model.
| State | State tax | Take-home |
|---|---|---|
| Idaho | $3,121.70 | $58,471 |
| Utah | $3,337.50 | $58,255 |
| Montana | $2,877.10 | $58,715 |
Idaho income tax and federal Form W-4

Hourly wages and Idaho take-home pay
Hourly workers annualize first: rate × 40 hours × 52 weeks. At $25 an hour that is $52,000 gross — about $809 per weekly check with $1,903 Idaho tax and $4,060 federal. Overtime and bonuses add to the same annual wage base when you enter them above.

Bi-weekly and monthly pay in Idaho
Pay frequency changes the per-check amount, not the annual tax math. Idaho withholding annualizes wages, computes tax once, then your employer divides net pay across paychecks. A $75,000 salary lands at about $2,249 per bi-weekly check versus $4,873 per monthly check — same annual take-home, different slice size.
| Pay frequency | Paychecks / yr | Gross | ID tax | Net |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Weekly | 52 | $1,442 | $60 | $1,124 |
| Bi-Weekly | 26 | $2,885 | $120 | $2,249 |
| Semi-Monthly | 24 | $3,125 | $130 | $2,436 |
| Monthly | 12 | $6,250 | $260 | $4,873 |
