How each Washington line is calculated

WA Employer Paid Leave
For employers with 50 or more employees, the 2026 Washington Paid Leave employer share is 28.57% of the total 1.13% premium, which is approximately 0.322841% of wages up to the Social Security wage base.
 Employer 0.32% $184,500
WA Paid Leave
Employee contribution at 0.807159% of wages up to the Social Security wage base used in the current payroll rules.
 Employee 0.81% $184,500
WA UI Tax
Washington unemployment insurance is employer-paid. The exact contribution depends on the employer's assigned state unemployment rate notice and the current taxable wage base for the selected tax year, so this line remains calculator-only until employer-specific rate input is captured.
 Employer User supplied No cap

Official sources

Some state or local tax rules for this jurisdiction are still partial and may require user-entered rates or manual review. Some employer-side state taxes depend on employer size, assigned unemployment rates, or program elections. Review the line notes before relying on those totals. Washington Paid Leave employer contributions only apply to employers with 50 or more employees unless a special grant or voluntary arrangement changes that result.
