Idaho's graduated schedule, read from a paycheck's point of view
Idaho taxes income through graduated brackets reaching 5.3% in this 2026 estimate — lower than Oregon's ceiling, higher than its no-income-tax neighbours' zero. On a $60,000 salary that works out to about $2,213 of state tax, or roughly 3.7% of gross, which lands Idaho near the middle of this state series.
The marginal picture at $50k–$70k
At these salaries your Idaho marginal band sits in the middle of the schedule. Add the federal 10%/12% brackets and the 7.65% FICA pair and each additional dollar costs about 25 cents total — meaning overtime, bonuses and raises all behave the same way: visible, taxed, but never half. Because Idaho taxes 401(k) deferrals the same way the federal system does, salaried savers in Boise or Idaho Falls can cut both bills with one payroll election.
Why the Boise boom changed the question
Idaho's rapid growth has pushed nominal wages up faster than its tax code has changed, so more earners now sit in the upper brackets than the schedule was designed around. The state has been under recurring pressure to trim rates or expand credits — worth re-checking this page each January, because the numbers that matter for your paycheck are the bracket edges, not the headline rate.
Comparing offers with Utah, Washington and Nevada
The practical comparison for most Idaho earners is remote-work income taxed where the work happens. A Boise salary assessed against a Washington or Nevada address — both zero-income-tax states — can differ by more than $2,000 a year at this level, which is precisely the size of difference a relocation budget should account for before, not after, accepting the offer.
