Washington income tax 2026
Washington has no income tax on wages. Two state payroll programs are deducted from Washington paychecks: Paid Family and Medical Leave (the employee share is about 0.81% of wages in 2026, up to the Social Security wage base) and the WA Cares long-term care fund (0.58% of all wages, unless you have an approved exemption). Washington's 7%–9% capital gains tax applies only to large investment gains, not wages.

Why is my actual Washington paycheck different from this estimate?
Payroll software withholds using the IRS and state withholding tables and your W-4 elections, spread evenly over the year. Differences usually come from benefit deductions, extra withholding on your W-4, local taxes, bonuses taxed at the 22% supplemental rate, or the Social Security cap being reached late in the year.
