Overtime Pay Calculator — Idaho (2026)
Overtime in Idaho starts with the federal FLSA floor: 1.5× your regular rate for every hour beyond 40 in a workweek. Some states add daily overtime or double-time rules on top. This calculator shows gross overtime pay and what survives federal, FICA and Idaho taxation in 2026. Idaho uses a flat personal income tax of 5.30% applied to taxable income after a state standard deduction of $16,100.

Overtime rules that apply in Idaho
Idaho follows the federal weekly standard: overtime is owed after 40 hours in a workweek, with no general daily overtime requirement.
The "regular rate" is not just your base hourly wage — non-discretionary bonuses, shift differentials and commissions must be folded in before multiplying by 1.5, which raises the true overtime rate for many tech workers around Boise.
Is overtime taxed more in Idaho?
No — overtime is ordinary wages. It can feel over-taxed because per-period withholding tables annualize a big check as if every week looked like that, temporarily withholding at a higher rate that you recover at filing.
The Idaho layer applies to overtime exactly as to base pay, at rates up to 5.30%.
Exempt vs non-exempt in Idaho
Salaried does not mean exempt. To be exempt from overtime a worker must clear both a salary threshold and a duties test; misclassification is one of the most common wage claims filed in Idaho.
Cost of living in Idaho sits 1% below the national average (index 99), median household income is $74,942, and a one-bedroom apartment in Boise rents for roughly $1,350 a month.
Local and payroll taxes Idaho adds on top
Idaho adds no state-mandated employee payroll deduction beyond FICA, so nothing extra is taken from your gross pay at the state level.
Idaho has no separate city or county income tax, so the state figure above is the full sub-federal income tax you pay.
Overtime hours carry exactly the same local withholding as regular Idaho hours; the extra pay is taxed at your marginal rates, not at a special penalty rate, even though the deduction line looks bigger.
Working across a state line from Idaho
Idaho has no income-tax reciprocity agreements, so if you live here and work across a state line you generally file a nonresident return in the work state and claim a credit at home to avoid double taxation.
Remote and hybrid work complicates this further: most states tax income where the work is physically performed, so a Boise resident spending part of the year at a client site in Washington may owe a nonresident return there. Keep a day-count log if you split time between states.
The rest of your Idaho tax bill
Idaho charges a 6% state sales tax, homeowners pay an average effective property tax of 0.63% of market value, and the minimum wage in force during 2026 is $7.25 an hour.
Few local add-ons, so 6% is close to the effective statewide rate.
Income tax is only one part of a state's take. Idaho recovers revenue through sales and property tax as well, which is why headline income tax rates alone are a poor guide to how far a salary really goes. Idaho exempts Social Security and offers a limited deduction for certain public pensions at 65+.
Idaho vs Washington on the same salary
On a $75,000 salary, a single filer keeps about $58,471 a year in Idaho against roughly $61,593 in Washington — a difference of $3,122, or $260 a month.
Effective combined rates are 22.0% in Idaho and 17.9% in Washington. Set that gap against living costs: index 99 here versus 116 there, with property tax at 0.63% and 0.94% respectively.
