What this calculator simplifies

Uses the 2025 0% band ($4,811 / $9,622). Idaho had not published the 2026 schedule as of October 2026, and the 2026 withholding tables do not include a separate 0% band.
The grocery credit, the capital gains deduction for Idaho property and retirement benefit deductions are not modeled.

The homeowner's exemption at Boise home prices

Idaho's homeowner's exemption removes 50% of the value of your primary home and up to one acre of land from property tax, up to a maximum of $125,000. The Tax Commission's history table shows the cap at $125,000 for 2021 to 2025, up from $100,000 in 2017 to 2020. You apply once with the Ada County Assessor, and the exemption lasts until you sell or stop living there.

At the median Boise price, the cap binds. Half of the median Boise home value of $498,500 would be $249,250, so the exemption is limited to $125,000. Property tax is charged on $373,500, or 75% of value, rather than the 50% a lower-priced home would pay on. The exemption only fully halves the taxable value of homes worth $250,000 or less.

In cash terms, the median Boise homeowner's property tax of $2,674 takes about 5.1% of the take-home pay of a worker on the city's median full-time earnings of $66,055.
