Understanding Washington Income Taxes
Washington levies no state income tax on wages, so your 2025 tax picture is federal income tax plus FICA payroll taxes. Washington relies on a 6.5% state sales tax (~9%+ with local rates) and the gross-receipts B&O business tax instead of an income tax.
Key Takeaways for 2025
- Federal tax brackets and standard deductions have been adjusted for inflation (and raised retroactively by the One Big Beautiful Bill Act).
- Washington has no state income tax — retirement income and Social Security are untaxed at the state level too.
- Don't forget FICA taxes (Social Security and Medicare) — they're withheld from your paycheck automatically and included in the take-home figure above.
