What this page does not tell you
This is the top marginal rate, not anyone's bill. Only the rate is carried back; Hawaii's brackets, standard deduction and exemptions for years before 2025 are not in this dataset. A cut in the top rate can sit alongside a higher bill for most filers.
Only the top marginal rate is carried back. Brackets, deductions and exemptions for years before 2025 are not in this dataset.
Years before 2025 are Tax Foundation's 1 January snapshot; 2025 and 2026 are the rate enacted for the whole year, from the state's own source. Where the two disagree the record carries both figures.
