Hawaii uses a General Excise Tax instead of sales tax. How does this affect me?
Hawaii's General Excise Tax (GET) of 4%-4.5% is embedded in business prices rather than shown as a separate line item. This means you pay 4%-4.5% on almost everything, but it's hidden in the cost of goods and services. Many people don't realize they're paying GET until they compare prices to mainland states: a $100 item in Hawaii includes $4-$4.50 in GET, making prices higher than they appear.
I'm moving to Hawaii from California. Will I save money on taxes?
It depends on your income level. Lower and middle-income earners ($50,000-$100,000) might pay similar or slightly less in Hawaii compared to California. However, high earners ($200,000+) will likely pay similar or more in Hawaii (effective rates around 7%-8%) compared to California, and Hawaii's cost of living (especially housing) is significantly higher than California. A $300,000 home in Hawaii might cost $600,000-$800,000+, which can completely offset tax savings.
