Idaho Salaries
How Idaho salaries compare to the national market
Idaho trade wages run about 8% below the national median (BLS OEWS May 2025), and this calculator applies a 0.92 Idaho wage index to national medians. Micron's multi-billion-dollar memory fab expansion in Boise is the largest industrial project in state history and has absorbed electricians, pipefitters and controls technicians faster than the local pipeline produces them; residential growth across the Treasure Valley does the rest. On the tax side, Idaho withholds Flat rate, cut repeatedly since 2022, with no local wage tax on top.
