Hawaii Capital Gains Tax
Hawaii caps the tax on net long-term capital gain at 7.25%, while other income, including short-term gains, is taxed at rates up to 11% in 2026 (on taxable income over $325,000 single, $650,000 married filing jointly). This calculator applies 7.25% to long-term gains and 11% to short-term gains, so it overstates the tax for filers in the lower brackets. From 2027, Act 24 of 2026 adds a 13% bracket on ordinary income over $500,000 single and $1 million joint; the 7.25% capital gains cap does not change.
Long-term: Capped at 7.25%
Short-term: Taxed as ordinary income (up to 11%)
