How Washington taxes your paycheck
Washington does not tax wages, so your paycheck only loses federal income tax, Social Security and Medicare. Washington's WA Cares (0.58%) and Paid Family and Medical Leave payroll premiums are not included.
Every paycheck also loses federal income tax (10% to 37% after the $16,100 standard deduction in 2026) and FICA: 6.2% Social Security on wages up to $184,500 and 1.45% Medicare, plus 0.9% on wages above $200,000.
