HI Employer TDI Premium
Hawaii Temporary Disability Insurance is funded through an approved employer plan or self-insured arrangement. Employers must pay at least half of the premium cost, and the exact employer share depends on the plan premium and the amount, if any, deducted from employees, so this line remains employer-plan-specific.

Some state or local tax rules for this jurisdiction are still partial and may require user-entered rates or manual review.
Some employer-side state taxes depend on employer size, assigned unemployment rates, or program elections. Review the line notes before relying on those totals.
Some state-specific lines need additional answers before the calculator can resolve all applicable rates: EmployerProgramRatePercent, EmployeeContributionSharePercent.
