HOW THE WASHINGTON ESTIMATE WORKS

What the 2026 calculation includes.

Washington does not impose an individual state income tax on wage income, so the state income-tax line is zero.

What can make your actual paycheck different?

The calculator includes the modeled 2026 employee Paid Family & Medical Leave premium and the 0.58% WA Cares premium. Employer-paid premiums and worker exemptions can make actual withholding different.

Important assumptions

  • W-2 wage income and one job.
  • Standard deduction rather than itemized deductions.
  • No dependents, tax credits, bonuses or stock compensation.
  • 401(k) contribution is capped at the standard 2026 employee elective-deferral limit in this calculator.

Does Washington have state income tax on wages?

No. Washington does not impose an individual state income tax on wage income, so this calculator shows $0 on the state income-tax line.

What taxes can come out of a Washington paycheck?

Federal income tax, Social Security and Medicare are included. The state payroll line also models the 2026 employee Paid Family & Medical Leave premium and the 0.58% WA Cares premium. Some workers can be exempt from WA Cares, and employers can choose to pay employee premiums on their behalf.

How does the Washington paycheck calculator handle state taxes?

Washington does not tax wage income with a state individual income tax, but statewide payroll premiums can still reduce take-home pay. TakeHomeMeter now models the 2026 employee Paid Leave premium and WA Cares premium separately as state payroll deductions.

Some workers can be exempt from WA Cares, and an employer may choose to pay some or all employee premiums, so actual withholding can differ.
