Calculadora de cheque Washington 2026

Washington has no state income tax on wages — your Washington paycheck has only federal + FICA + a 0.58% WA Cares payroll tax (funding long-term care; opt-out window closed for most workers). Capital gains tax of 7% applies to LTCG over $278K (WA DOR's published 2025 deduction, indexed annually), with an extra 2.9% on taxable gain above $1M — so most W-2 workers don't see it, but Microsoft / Amazon RSU sellers do.

WA Cares 0.58% payroll tax (long-term care, with exemption option)

Característica notable de nómina Washington

Washington has no traditional state income tax, but has a 7% capital gains tax on long-term gains over ~$278,000 (WA DOR's published 2025 deduction, the latest available; it indexes annually), plus an additional 2.9% on taxable gain above $1,000,000 — a 9.9% combined top rate since 1 January 2025. Affects high-earners with significant brokerage/equity-comp activity. WA Cares Fund (0.58% payroll) funds long-term care; opt-out window expired but exemptions exist.

Cómo funciona realmente un cheque Washington

Withholding on a Washington paycheck is federal-only on income, but two state-level payroll layers do show up on the stub. WA Cares deducts 0.58% from every paycheck to fund the state's Long-Term Services and Supports Trust (LTSS); the opt-out window for private long-term-care policies closed in 2022 for most current workers. Washington Paid Family and Medical Leave (PFML) adds another 0.74% premium split between employer and employee, with the employee share roughly 0.43%. Combined, that's about 1% of gross wages flowing to state-level payroll funds, separate from any income tax — small in absolute terms, but it puts Washington's paycheck above Texas/Florida by about $1,000/year at $100K.

Take-home math for a Washington single filer earning 2026 wages: $60,000 → $5,020 federal + $4,590 FICA + ~$606 WA payroll layers = $10,216 total deductions, take-home $49,784 (83%). $100,000 → $13,170 federal + $7,650 FICA + ~$1,010 state payroll = $21,830, take-home $78,170 (78%). $150,000 → $24,734 federal + $11,475 FICA + ~$1,515 state payroll = $37,724, take-home $112,276 (75%). Effective burden runs about 0.5–1 percentage point higher than Texas/Florida for typical W-2 workers because of WA Cares + PFML. RSU sellers triggering more than $278,000 in long-term capital gains in a year add 7% on the excess via the Washington capital gains tax — and 9.9% on any part of that excess above $1,000,000.

Washington's state-level structure is unusual: no income tax on wages, but a 7% long-term capital gains tax on LTCG above $278,000 (WA DOR's published 2025 deduction; it indexes annually), with an additional 2.9% on taxable gain above $1,000,000 under ESSB 5813 since 1 January 2025 — 9.9% combined. Standard wage earners never see it. Microsoft, Amazon, Boeing, and Costco employees with sizable vested RSU positions absolutely do — selling $1M of qualified appreciated stock above the $278K deduction creates a $50,540 Washington capital gains bill on top of the federal 20% LTCG + 3.8% NIIT. Washington B&O (Business and Occupation) tax also hits sole proprietors and S-corp pass-throughs at 0.471%–1.5% of gross receipts, an unusual replacement for income tax that catches self-employed Washingtonians off-guard.

The highest-leverage tactic for Washington tech workers is RSU sale-timing across calendar years to stay below the $278,000 capital gains deduction. Selling $250K of Amazon RSUs each December and another $250K each January spreads recognition across two tax years — both below the threshold, both pay $0 Washington capital gains. Selling $500K all at once triggers $15,540 of Washington tax (7% on $222K above the deduction). For Microsoft / Amazon employees with multi-year vest schedules, treating the $278K deduction as an annual budget noticeably changes the after-tax compounding math.
