How Hawaii TDI works out your benefit

For salaried workers the average weekly wage is simply the weekly salary in the last week before the disability began. For others it is the average of the last eight weeks with the last employer — or the last 52 weeks for commission or piece-rate pay.

TDI pays 58% of that figure, rounded up to the next dollar. The 2026 maximum of $871 is 58% of the $1,500.21 maximum weekly wage base, also rounded up. If your average weekly wage is under $26, the benefit equals your wage, up to $14.

Most Hawaii employers provide TDI through an insurer or a self-insured plan rather than a state fund, and those plans may pay more than this statutory level.

Worked example

Take a worker paid $1,100 a week with steady pay, taking 8 weeks off (my own illness, injury or pregnancy) from Oct 5, 2026, when the figures for Jan 1, 2026 – Dec 31, 2026 apply. Hawaii TDI uses the weekly salary, or the average of the last 8 weeks: $1,100.

The formula gives 58% × $1,100 = $638: a weekly benefit of $638, or 58% of their usual weekly pay. The first week is an unpaid waiting week, so 7 paid weeks come to $4,466.

Over a year, their own payroll contribution is $286 — about $5.50 a week.

At $200,000 a year, the same leave pays $871 a week — the maximum, 23% of that worker’s weekly pay, for a yearly contribution of $390.

What catches people out in Hawaii

  • The first 7 days are unpaid for every period of disability.
  • To qualify you need at least 14 weeks in the past 52 in which you worked 20+ hours and were paid, with at least $400 earned, and you must be in current employment.
  • Your share is capped: employers may withhold half the premium cost, but no more than 0.5% of weekly wages — at most $7.50 a week in 2026.
  • Bonding or caregiving is not covered. TDI is for your own illness, injury or pregnancy only.
