Washington Take-Home
Take-home pay in Washington: what makes it different
Washington has no state income tax, so a Washington paycheck loses federal income tax, Social Security (6.2%) and Medicare (1.45%), and nothing to a state income bracket. It is not deduction-free, though: employees pay a Paid Family & Medical Leave premium of about 0.81% of wages in 2026 (the employee's 71.43% share of the 1.13% total) plus 0.58% to the WA Cares Fund, together roughly $900 a year on a $65,000 salary. A single filer on $65,000 takes home about $54,100 (83%) before those premiums, near $53,200 after them.
