What is withheld on a Hawaii pay stub

Every pay stub shows gross pay, each deduction, and net pay for the period and the year to date. These are the employee taxes that apply in Hawaii for 2026.

Pay stub law

Hawaii requires employers to give each employee a written statement at each payday showing gross and net pay, the amount and purpose of each deduction, the pay date and pay period, and for hourly employees the rate, hours worked, and overtime pay. Electronic statements are allowed only with the employee's written authorization, and the employee must be able to access and print them.Source

Paid by the employer on the first $61,958 of each employee’s wages (2025 wage base). It is an employer cost and does not reduce the employee’s net pay.
