What sets Hawaii apart from other states is also what makes it the most expensive, requiring retirees to save up at least $117,724 annually. Individuals with private pensions are fully taxed at 8.25 percent for the $48,000 to $150,000 bracket. The good news is that public pensions are exempt from taxation, and homeowners aged 65 and older are eligible for up to a $120,000 exemption, depending on where on the islands they live.
