Yes, CA follow's a similar calculation as well.  I found this on California's website.

 

Generally, you must make estimated tax payments if in 2022 you expect to owe at least:

  • $500
  • $250 if married/RDP filing separately

And, you expect your withholding and credits to be less than the smaller of one of the following:

  • 90% of the current year’s tax
  • 100% of the prior year’s tax (including alternative minimum tax)
