Washington does not tax wages. On your paycheck you owe federal income tax and FICA (Social Security and Medicare) and nothing to the state. It does tax large long-term capital gains: 7% on gains above $278,000 a year and 9.9% above $1,000,000. The typical state takes about $2,596 from a $75,000 salary, so living here keeps that money in your pocket.
Washington collects more in other ways. Washington's state rate is 6.50% and local add-ons average 3.07%, for a combined average of 9.57%, the 3rd highest of 51 (50 states and D.C.). Its average property tax rate is 0.84%, the 13th highest of 51, in the top third.
