Federal withholding uses the official 2026 IRS Publication 15-T Percentage Method tables. Supports both 2019-and-earlier W-4 (allowance-based) and 2020+ W-4 (Steps 2–4). Federal withholding allowance: $4,300. Social Security wage base: $176,100.
Hawaii withholding uses the Booklet A annualization method with 2026 bracket approximations. Hawaii allowance value: $1,144. Results may vary slightly from Booklet A wage bracket tables. Always verify results against your actual Booklet A and employee HW-4 before processing payroll. For exact calculations, contact Pacific Data Services at (808) 521-1813.
