Additional State Capital Gains Tax Information for Hawaii
While the federal government taxes capital gains at a lower rate than regular personal income, states usually tax capital gains at the same rates as regular income – this is not the case in Hawaii, which utilizes a lower rate than its personal income tax rate. The Combined Rate accounts for Federal, State, and Local tax rate on capital gains income, the 3.8 percent Surtax on capital gains and the marginal effect of Pease Limitations (which increases the tax rate by 1.18 percent).
