- RAP employee: 1.5% on the portion of salary above HNL 11,903.13 (not the full salary).

Self-employed (persona natural)
- Self-employed individuals use the same ISR progressive annual brackets (SAR 2026) on net income (gross receipts minus allowable expenses), less the HNL 40,000/year flat medical/education deduction.
- IHSS and RAP are voluntary for the self-employed (no mandatory deduction).
