Your employer withholds Idaho tax based on the Form ID W-4 you filled in, which is separate from your federal Form W-4. If you never filled one in, employers usually withhold as single with no allowances.
Why is Idaho tax missing for some pay dates?
Idaho revised its withholding tables in July 2026 after its child tax credit ended. We have verified only the current tables, so earlier pay dates leave out Idaho tax.
What is the minimum wage in Idaho?
Idaho's minimum wage is $7.25 an hour, matching federal law, with no increase scheduled. Tipped workers can be paid $3.35 an hour in cash if tips make up the rest, and new workers under 20 can get $4.25 for 90 days.

Your final pay is due by your next regular payday or within 10 days of leaving, not counting weekends and holidays, whichever is earlier. Make a written request and it is due within 48 hours, excluding weekends and holidays.

How long do I have to file for unpaid wages in Idaho?
Idaho law gives you 2 years from when the wages were owed to file with the Department of Labor or in court. For additional pay on a pay period you were already paid for, the limit is 12 months.
Why is my first paycheck in January different?
New federal withholding tables and a new Social Security cap start on January 1. Pick a 2027 pay date in the calculator to see the change.
