No state income tax on wages does not mean an empty stub. Federal income tax (Rev. Proc. 2025-32), Social Security up to $184,500, and Medicare still withhold. New Hampshire is listed because wages are not taxed; do not read that as a promise about every class of income.
Washington does not tax W-2 wages, but WA Cares is a separate employee premium the calculator can include when the state is Washington. Washington’s capital-gains tax is outside this wage engine.
