Computing the Amount of
Idaho Income Tax Withholding
Percentage Computation Method
Multiply the allowance value for the appropriate payroll period (See Table 1) by the
number of allowances claimed on the Form W-4 and subtract this amount from the
employee’s wages. Use the result to compute the amount to withhold using the appro-
priate tables on pages 27-29.
The percentage computation method may be the most useful method to use when
programming the withholding table for your computer.
