Assumptions
- Annual tax is estimated from 2026 brackets and spread evenly across pay periods.
- Estimated annual liability from brackets, not Pub 15-T withholding.
- Child Tax Credit, EITC and the 2025-2028 qualified overtime and tips deductions are not applied yet (v1.1).
- Act 46 (2024) changes Hawaii's brackets in 2025, 2027 and 2029, so 2026 uses the 2025 schedules.
