Hawaii

Lead generation for financial advisors in Hawaii.

Hawaii has about 310,300 residents aged 65 and over, 22.1% of its population and the third highest share of any state, per Census Bureau 2024 estimates. Hawaii exempts Social Security and qualifying employer-funded pension income, generally taxes 401(k) deferrals and IRA money, and keeps an estate tax of its own.

Market knowledge

What Hawaii pre-retirees are actually asking about

Three rules shape retirement income and estate planning in Hawaii, verified against the Hawaii Department of Taxation, the Hawaii Revised Statutes and the City and County of Honolulu on 2026-09-24.

Employer-funded pensions are exempt; deferrals are not

Hawaii does not tax Social Security or qualifying distributions from employer-funded pension plans, including state, county, federal civil service and military pensions. Distributions from 401(k) and 457 plans may be partly or fully taxable, and self-funded IRAs are treated as the saver's own investment. A rollover IRA keeps the original plan's status.

A state estate tax starts at $5,490,000 per person

Hawaii taxes estates above $5,490,000, an exclusion fixed at the 2017 federal level, while the federal exclusion was $13,990,000 for 2025. Rates run from 10% to 20% of the Hawaii net taxable estate. A surviving spouse keeps the unused exclusion only if a timely Hawaii return elects portability.

On Oahu, the home exemption rises at 65

The City and County of Honolulu reduces the taxable value of an owner-occupied principal residence by $120,000, or $160,000 if the owner is 65 or older. From July 1, 2027 the amounts rise to $140,000 and $180,000. Claims for the tax year starting July 1, 2027 are due by September 30, 2026.

The home exemption figures above are for the City and County of Honolulu only. Hawaii has no gift tax, but taxable gifts made during life reduce the estate tax exclusion.
