- Idaho starts from federal taxable income, so the $16,100 federal standard deduction applies.
- Idaho also offers a refundable grocery credit on the state return. Paycheck withholding doesn't reflect it.
The largest cities are Boise, Meridian, Nampa, Idaho Falls. Official forms and withholding tables come from the Idaho State Tax Commission.

These estimates cover wages only. They use the standard deduction and no credits. Some things would lower your federal tax, and they are not here: the 2026 child tax credit ($2,200 per child) and the 2025–2028 deductions for tips (up to $25,000), qualified overtime (up to $12,500, or $25,000 married), seniors 65+ ($6,000 each) and car-loan interest (up to $10,000). If any of those apply to you, your real federal tax is lower.
