Hawaii requires employers to provide Temporary Disability Insurance (TDI) for employees who cannot work due to their own non-work illness or injury. Hawaii does not run a statewide paid family leave program, so this tool focuses on the TDI benefit.
How it works
Hawaii replaces a fixed share of your average weekly wage (AWW):
weekly benefit = AWW × 58% (capped at the state maximum)
The cap is tied to the statewide average weekly wage and updated yearly. TDI lasts up to 26 weeks after a one-week waiting period.
Example
An AWW of $1,000 gives 1000 × 0.58 = $580 per week, below the cap, so the
estimated weekly benefit is $580.
Notes
This is an estimate. Hawaii has no state paid family leave program — the mandatory benefit is TDI for an employee’s own disability. Actual benefits depend on the employer’s plan, the one-week waiting period, and the current-year cap. Confirm with the Hawaii Disability Compensation Division.
