How to calculate Take-Home Pay in Hawaii?

To calculate Take Home Pay or Paycheck, you need to go through several steps that include calculation of Gross Pay, Pre-Tax Deductions, Federal Taxes, State Taxes, Post Tax Deductions, Local Tax, etc.

To make it easy for you, we have divided this guide into steps, which would give a general idea. However, there may be some differences or additional taxes that you may be subjected to, according to your situation. As it's a comprehensive guide, we can only discuss general aspects.

Step 1 - Calculating Gross Pay:

1. To calculate Gross Pay, first, you need to determine the Pay Type of an employee. It is whether an employee is paid on an hourly basis or salary basis.

Hourly Employees:

Hourly Base Employees are paid for each hour they work in a day or a week, at the mutually agreed hourly rate. However, the mutually agreed hourly rate must be as per the Federal and State Minimum Wage law.

Hourly Employees are also entitled to receive overtime, for each excess hours worked after Regular worked hours in a day or week. The overtime rate in most of the states is one and a half times the regular hourly rate.

Salaried Employees:

Salaried employees receive a fixed but mutually agreed on pay, for a decided pay frequency, usually semi-monthly or monthly. However, for gross payment determination for a pay period, the annual salary is divided by the pay frequency.

Most of the salaried employees are exempted from Overtime law. Therefore, they are not entitled to receive overtime, regardless of how many excess hours they work. However, some exceptional salaried employees may be eligible to receive overtime according to federal or state law.

2. Remember, Supplementary Wages like bonuses, commissions, and paid leaves, as well as double time and fringe benefits, are also taxable wages. Therefore they must also be included in gross pay before federal and state tax calculation.

Step 2 – Subtracting Pre-Tax Deductions (If Any):

Pre-Tax Deduction is an amount deducted from employee's gross pay before any withholding tax is deducted. These deductions have several advantages, including the reduction of taxable wages. Hence, increasing the take-home pay of an employee. However, not all deductions can be considered as free from all taxes, which means some of the deductions may require certain taxes to be withheld.

Some of the standard Pre-tax deductions are:

• Health Savings Accounts or FSA or HSA plans
• Commuter Benefits
• Healthcare Insurance
• Short-Term Disability
• Dental Insurance
• Medical Expenses and Flexible Spending Accounts
• Vision Benefits
• Retirement funds like a traditional 401(k)

Step 3 – Calculate and Subtract Federal Taxes:

Federal Taxes are taxes deducted from almost every employee, regardless of which state or county they work in.

Federal Taxes are calculated according to the details provided by the employee on Form W-4, which comprises of income, filing status, number of dependents, number of allowances, number of jobs, etc.

The details are form W-4, are assessed and used by the employer to deduce the federal tax bracket, in which the employee's taxable wage lay upon.

Federal Taxes ranges from 0% to 37% have seven tax brackets, depending on filing status, income, and the number of allowances claimed. Below is the income tax details for the year 2024:

Step 4 – Deduct FICA Taxes:

Along with Federal Withholding, employers are also required to withhold Federal Insurance Contributions Act (FICA) taxes from the employee's paycheck as well as pay a matching amount themselves to the IRS.

There are two types of FICA taxes:

1. Social Security:

Employers are entitled to withhold 6.2% from the first $132,900 (wage base limit for 2024), taxable wages earned by the employee. Moreover, the employer is also required to pay an equal amount to the IRS for each employee.

2. Medicare:

Medicare tax is another type of FICA Tax that an employer must withhold from the taxable gross wage of the employee, at the rate of 1.45%. Unlike social security, there is no wage base limit. However, if the employee earns more than the defined threshold than he/she is subjected to an additional 0.9% of the Additional Medicare Tax rate, for every dollar earned above the threshold amount.

Like Social Security, IRS also requires the employer to pay an equal amount of Medicare tax for each employee.

Step 5 – Payment of FUTA Taxes

The Federal Unemployment Tax Act (FUTA) is a tax that the IRS requires the employer to pay without deducting anything from the employee's paycheck.

The FUTA Tax rate for 2024 is 6.0% of the first taxable wage up to $7000 of an employee. However, once the taxable wage limit is crossed for a particular employee, then the employer no longer has to pay this tax.

What to reduce FUTA Tax?

Yes! Then you must pay State Unemployment Insurance (SUI) tax in full and on time and get a FUTA tax credit of up to 5.4%. Which means, you saved a whopping 90% from FUTA Tax.

Step 6 – Subtract Post-Tax Deductions (If any):

Although, employers are not required to withhold any amount as a post-tax deduction, unless if an employee voluntarily asks to do so. However, there are some deductions ordered by the court like child support or wage garnishment, which the employer is entitled to deduct.

Step 7 – Withhold Indiana State Payroll Taxes:

As we have calculated Federal Payroll taxes, now it's time to calculate Indiana State Payroll Taxes. The State requires the employer to pay some taxes himself and rest to withhold from the employee's paycheck. Following are the State payroll taxes that usually most of the employers and employees pay:

Indiana State Income Tax

The state requires the employer to withhold the Indiana State income tax from the employee's paycheck, according to the details provided by the employee on Form WH-4, which contain all the necessary details of the employee such as filing status, a number of allowances to claim, etc. This form is filled by the employee at the starting of the job. The employee must ensure that the form is updated regularly when any significant event occurs like marriage, divorce or child's birth.

The employee working in Indiana are taxed at a flat income tax rate of $3.23, regardless of filing status and income level. Unlike some other states, Indiana state taxes the supplemental wage and bonuses at the same rate as the regular wage.

State Unemployment Insurance (SUI) Tax:

Besides, State income tax, Indiana State also entitles the employers to pay State Unemployment Insurance (SUI) Tax at the rate range from 0.5% to 7.4% on the first $9500 earned by each of their employees. However, New Employers are given relief to pay on a flat rate of 2.5% for wages earned by each employee.

Step 8 – Withhold Local Tax:

Along with Federal Taxes and State Taxes, Indiana residents and non-residents are also subjected to local income tax. These taxes are charged according to the county in which they are working. The following table shows the county names and their tax rates:

Step 9 – Calculate Pay Check:

Once you are done with all elements (steps) discussed earlier, you will have a net pay amount for each employee. Now all you have to do is pay employees on time. Also, to file all Federal Taxes, State Taxes, FICA, and FUTA taxes on time, to avoid any penalties.
