- Social Security: 6.2% of your wages comes out to $4,960 this year, funding retirement and disability benefits.
- Medicare: 1.45% of your wages comes out to $1,160 this year, funding healthcare for retirees.
- State payroll tax: Washington also charges Paid Family and Medical Leave and the WA Cares long-term care fund (WA PFML + WA Cares), about 1.39% of your wages, which comes out to $1,110 this year. It's taken from your gross pay, so a 401(k) doesn't lower it.
