Frequently Asked Questions
No, Washington does not have a state income tax. However, residents still pay federal income tax, Social Security, and Medicare taxes.
The Social Security tax rate is 6.2% on wages up to $168,600 (2024 limit). Once you exceed that, no additional Social Security tax is withheld.
