About Washington income tax
Washington State has no income tax on wages. It does, however, levy a 7% capital gains tax on long-term gains above $262,000 (per individual, 2024 threshold; small inflation adjustments may apply) — but salary, hourly, and most self-employment income are entirely state-tax-free. Washington funds itself through a 6.5% state sales tax (Seattle's combined rate hits 10.35%), property taxes, and business taxes. For a Seattle-based engineer earning $120,000, the no-income-tax advantage over neighboring Oregon (top rate 9.9%) is typically $7,000–$10,000+ per year.
